The Colonne de la Paix Armée stands as a bronze sentinel, topped by a formidable winged figure clutching a sword. This monument embodies a classic Latin adage that suggests the most effective way to secure peace is through a credible and powerful military display. The statue, standing over eleven feet tall, depicts an angel whose wings act as a defensive barrier while its bared blade serves as a constant, non-threatening warning to maintain vigilance.
