Hard Hearts, Hard Rocks

This clock in Clemenceau's house mark the hour of his death in 1929.  He died in his home in Paris, and ordinarily a man of his stature would have been inhumed in the Panth�on, along side Voltaire, Rousseau, Hugo, Marie Curie, Jaur�s, Zola, and other great heroes of the Republican ideal.

Georges Clemenceau never was one for glory, however.  He wanted to lie beside his father and family here in Vend�e.  That's where he is today.
