Paris, France: Monument des Droits de l'Homme

It's rather easy for a monument to be overlooked when it is just down a path from the Eiffel Tower. The
Monument des Droits de l'Homme deserves better.

It translates to Monument to the Rights of Man. The structure was put up in 1989 to celebrate the 200th birthday of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen - a large part of the French Revolution. 

If you are walking in Champ de Mars park on the way to the tower, you might miss this one - and a brief stop probably is in order.
