      This stone statue of Napoleon 1st, sculpted by Georges THUROTTE, commemorates the victory of the French armies at Craonne against the Russian and Prussian armies of General Blücher on March 7, 1814, and which left 12,000 dead (7,000 French and 5,000 Russians, including the graves municipalities were dispersed during the fighting of the First World War).

      Placed high on a mound and built on the former site of the Moulin de Vauclerc which served as an observatory for the emperor, the limestone statue represents the Emperor scanning the horizon, in a dignified position.

      An enamelled table presents the plan of the battle of Craonne.
