Stèle du Général de Gaulle

The stele dedicated to General de Gaulle in Courbevoie serves as a site of local remembrance and civic reflection. It is situated on the Place Charras, a location chosen for its symbolic connection between the community and the national history of the French Resistance. The monument is engraved with the phrase: Face aux grands périls, le salut n'est que dans la grandeur, which translates to: In the face of great perils, salvation lies only in greatness. This inscription reflects the core values of liberty and patriotism that the town seeks to honor through the legacy of the former president. Throughout the year, and especially on dates marking anniversaries of his life or the liberation of France, the stele acts as a focal point for official ceremonies where wreaths are laid to ensure these historical lessons remain present for newer generations.
