A pretty statue of our hero Vercingetorix on the Place Jaude in Clermont Ferrand.

A statue dedicated to the mustachioed William Wallace (braveheart) and Auvergne great local figure: Vercingetorix! Note the quote on the statue's pedestal: "I TOOK UP ARMS FOR THE FREEDOM OF ALL!" Otherwise, a large and beautiful statue which is one of the places to do in Clermont!

Belle statue du grand Vercingetorix sur la place de jaude

Vercingetorix'in atlı heykeli, Avernes şefi Vercingetorix'i temsil eden Auguste Bartholdi tarafından yontulmuş, Clermont-Ferrand'daki Jaude meydanında 1903 yılında kurulmuş bronz bir atlı heykelidir. Heykel, Place de Jaude'nin kuzey ucunda yer almaktadır. Meydanın güney ucunda bulunan General Desaix Anıtı'na bakar.

The statue of Vercingetorix is ​​impressive. At the height of the almost mythical dimension that the figure of this French leader, born in the year 80 before our era, took on in recent centuries. He gathered and led the tribes of Gaul to confront Julius Caesar. He was defeated and killed, but he remained an example of the courage and patriotism of the French people.

Installed in 1903 in the middle of Place de Jaude. It is a bronze equestrian statue sculpted by Auguste Bartholdi, and representing Vercingétorix, leader of the Arverni and winner of the siege of Gergovia which took place not far from this city. The historical interest of this statue is obvious.

Turns out he loved the Tour de France

(Translated by Google) A very spacious, beautiful and cozy place, nearby there is an area where there is a small park where there are many flowers and vegetation, in front of a large esplanade to have breakfast or talk. Great! (Original) Un lugar muy amplio, bonito y cogedor, cerca hay una zona donde hay un pequeño parquecito donde hay muchas flores y vegetación, enfrente una explanada grande para desayunar o platicar.
