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. |
