During my 2 week vacation in France, I was surprised to find the statue of one of the French captains of the battle of the Nile in the city of Saumur.

The statue is placed in front of the post office.

The inscription:

Honneur et Patrie

a la memoire de
Aristide Aubert de Petite Thouars
Chef de division des armees navales
mort glorieusement
a la battaile navale d'Aboukir
en 1798
