An early example of neoclassicism
remembering those who lost their lives in their line of duty

It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle
The kitchens
As if we can't get enough of sculptures in Paris already!

solitary confinement!
pokey plants!
and the Napoleonic Wars
in the prison

and pitch black inside
Crude simple spectator seats
Sunset!

The golden gate bridge on the west of the island
during the Battle of Alcatraz
