Bronze statue of Pierre Mendes France
As you can no doubt gather from looking at these pictures, with the trees as a backdrop, you cannot see the back of the statue, but here is another front view showing the statue of Pierre Mendes France who was born in Paris, and became the youngest ever lawyer in France at only 21.

However, he was also a politician, statesman and even the French Prime Minister for a short period of time, but his negotiations helped to end the involvement of France in the Indochina war, and although he was disliked by many and against numerous government policies, he was an advocate of greater European integration, helping to bring about the formation of the Western European Union.
