Columns and statues to see Craonne

This statue of Napoleon I am the work of Georges Thurotte, who sculpted it in 1974. It recalls the victory acquired on 7 March 1814 by the French armies in Craonne on the Russian armies and prussian, then commanded by General Blücher. The statue was raised on the location of the mill of Vauclair, which served as an observatory during the battle. The wedding of the statue with the landscape is magnificent.
