Monument to maréchal Hubert Lyautey by François Cogné, 1985
Place Denys-Cochin
Quartier de l'École-Militaire, 7th arrondissement

“Lyautey has been suggested as the author of the aphorism that ‘a language is a dialect which owns an army, a navy and an air force’ (Une langue, c'est un dialecte qui possède une armée, une marine et une aviation), but there is no good evidence for this.” (Hubert Lyautey, Wikipedia)
