Monument inaugurated in 1914 in Grand-Bassam, dedicated to the victims of yellow fever and other colonial deaths.
Inaugurated in 1914, this monument is dedicated to the victims of yellow fever and other (French) dead of the colonial adventure. The "epitaph", which pays homage to the "children of France who fell for Côte d'Ivoire", as well as the austere Marianne preparing to throw a fragile flower on the body lying at her feet (work of Alfred Lenoir), reminds us that they were above all soldiers with a strong national feeling and that colonisation had entered its hard phase.
