The statue of the former British prime minister is one of few statues of foreigners in the French capital.

The 3.2 metre, 2,500 kg bronze statue was funded by 3,000 donations totalling the equivalent of £250,000. The largest donation was equal to £20,000, and the Council of Paris also contributed. It is based on a photograph of Churchill marching with De Gaulle down the Champs-Élysées on 11 November 1944. Cardot said that the image of Churchill walking reflected his determination. T ...
