Place Claude Érignac is a small, paved square in the sixteenth arrondissement of Paris, defined by its triangular shape and the bronze statue of a man standing in a long coat. It honors Claude Érignac, the Prefect of Corsica who was assassinated in Ajaccio in nineteen ninety-eight. The naming of this site marked a rare and somber moment in French civic life, as the square was dedicated to a civil servant killed while performing his duties on behalf of the state.
