FR/ Une statue rendant hommage à Paul Louis Courier, épistolier, pamphlétaire, helléniste très connu. Il fut le témoin attentif et railleur de son époque.

Son style mordant et brillant, son indépendance d'esprit en font un auteur toujours d'actualité.Il terminera sa vie assassiné dans une forêt le 10 Avril 1825. Il dérangeait le pouvoir en place.
L'architecte de cette oeuvre est Viollet le Duc et L. Le Chesne le sculpteur.
