This giant bronze statue of Churchill was unveiled on the 80th anniversary of the armistice which ended World War I. He is one of the few foreigners to have his likeness on display in Paris. The artist, Cardot, said: "I wanted to show Churchill's strength, his determination, and also his humour.  This is a man on the move, a man who won't stop."  The likeness was based on a picture of Churchill, wearing an air force uniform, walking through liberated Paris with de Gaulle in November 1944. It is near the Champs Elysees, close to the Eiffel tower. The plinth bears the immortal words: "We shall never surrender."
