Place du Lieutenant-Stéphane-Piobetta

The Place du Lieutenant-Stéphane-Piobetta sits in the fourteenth arrondissement of Paris as a tribute to a man who lived a life of rigorous intellect and decisive action. Before he was a decorated military officer, Stéphane Piobetta was a brilliant philosopher and a graduate of the prestigious École normale supérieure. He spent his early career teaching at the lycée Voltaire in Paris, but he abandoned his academic post to join the French Resistance after the occupation began.
