Overview

The Statue de Lord Brougham, located in Cannes, France, stands as a lasting tribute to Lord Henry Brougham, a British statesman and lawyer whose chance visit in 1835 profoundly impacted the city's destiny.

Captivated by the area's climate and beauty, he decided to stay, building a home and attracting other wealthy English citizens to the region.Lord Brougham's presence spurred significant development, transforming Cannes into a sought-after destination for the European elite. His support for projects like the construction of the port in 1836 further solidified his role in shaping the city. The statue, erected in 1879, serves as a reminder of Brougham's pivotal role in Cannes' transformation.The statue itself, crafted by sculptor Paul Lienard, is located in a prominent position near the sea front. It is a popular spot for tourists and locals alike, offering a picturesque backdrop for photographs and a place to reflect on the city's rich history.
