    The statue of Admiral Peyron
    The statue of Admiral Peyron was sculpted by Henri Georget in 1904. It was placed in the center of the town hall square on July 17, 1904. The base (the base) is oblique. The four sides represent the waves of the sea. At the four angles, the sterns of ancient ships can be seen. The pyramid decorated with a capital supports the bust of Admiral Peyron. All these elements are significant of Admiral Peyron's career in the navy. Thus, the homage is paid to the “glorious son of Marines”.


    Admiral Peyron was born in Marines in 1823. Son of Alexandre Peyron, doctor and Mayor of Marines, he entered the naval school in November 1839. First maneuver officer, then lieutenant, commander, chief of staff, vice-admiral, maritime prefect and senator. An accomplished career from which he climbed all the ranks of the Navy until becoming its minister. He died in Paris on January 9, 1892.
