Ce monument a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9rig\u00e9 en l’honneur d’\u00c9mile Levassor, ing\u00e9nieur et pionnier de l’industrie automobile et de la course automobile en France. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ce monument comm\u00e9more sa victoire lors de la course Paris-Bordeaux-Paris de 1895, parfois consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme la premi\u00e8re course automobile de l’histoire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

L’\u0153uvre fut command\u00e9e par l’Automobile Club de France en 1898, un an apr\u00e8s sa mort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La r\u00e9alisation du monument fut entreprise par le sculpteur Jules Dalou ; apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9c\u00e8s de ce dernier en 1902, le travail fut poursuivi par l’un de ses \u00e9l\u00e8ves, Camille Lef\u00e8vre, qui s’appuya sur les dessins de son ma\u00eetre. Le monument fut inaugur\u00e9 le 26 novembre 1907, \u00e0 l’entr\u00e9e du bois de Boulogne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En 1972, en raison de la construction du boulevard p\u00e9riph\u00e9rique, le monument a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9plac\u00e9 sur le square Alexandre-et-Ren\u00e9-Parodi, pr\u00e8s du boulevard de l’Amiral-Bruix, dans le 16e arrondissement de Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The monument was dedicated to \u00c9mile Levassor, an engineer and a pioneer of the automobile industry and car racing in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And commemorated him crossing the finish line first in the 1895 Paris\u2013Bordeaux\u2013Paris Trail, which is sometimes considered the first automotive race in history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was commissioned by Automobile Club of France in 1898, a year after his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work on the monument was begun by sculptor Jules Dalou, and following his death in 1902, it was continued by one of his students, Camille Lef\u00e8vre, who based it on his drawings. The monument was unveiled on 26 November 1907, at the entrance to Boulogne Woodland park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1972, due to the construction of the Peripheral Boulevard, the monument was moved to Alexandre and Ren\u00e9 Parodi Square, near Admiral Bruix Boulevard, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n
