Monument aux victimes de la guerre 1914-1918

The Monument aux victimes de la guerre in Issy-les-Moulineaux stands out for its somber, heavy stone form, carved with the names of soldiers who never returned from the First World War. Local sculptor Jules Déchin designed this memorial in nineteen twenty-one, choosing a traditional, respectful aesthetic that anchors the public square. Families gathered here every year to read the long lists of the fallen, turning this patch of ground into a shared space for grief when the conflict finally reached its silent end.
