Presentation

Statue initially in bronze of the illustrious Annonean inventor, inaugurated by Alexandre Millerand in 1923, President of the Republic at that time.

Statue of Marc Seguin, inventor of the tubular boiler and cable suspension bridges. This character had a very long life for the time (1786-1875 = 89 years). He married twice and had 2 children. The original statue was inaugurated at the same time as the square in 19 by the President of the Republic at the time, Alexandre Millerand. It was made of bronze but was melted to make shells by the Germans during the Second World War. In 1923, the original artist, Clémençin, delivered a second, this time in stone.
