Monument to the Glory of Émile Levassor

The Monument to the Glory of Émile Levassor is a tall, stone structure shaped like a triumphal arch, featuring a relief that shows a man driving an early automobile. It stands in the Square Alexandre and René Parodi, near the Porte Maillot. This location marks where Levassor completed the Paris-Bordeaux-Paris race in eighteen ninety-five, a feat often cited as the first true automobile race in history.
