CHABERT, Paul (1874-1946), architect of Nimes, France, was responsible for the design of the base and pedestal of the monument to General Louis Joseph de Montcalm of France, who lost the battle of the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City to the British General James Wolfe in 1759. This monument, in Lansdowne Park, QUEBEC CITY, QUE., at the head of Berthelet Street, off the Grande Allee, was completed in 1910, and is topped by a bronze statue by Leopold Morice, sculptor. This monument is still standing today in 2022. An identical copy of this monument was erected at Vestire-Candiac in France (Montreal Daily Star, 24 June 1910, 18; Vernon News [Vernon, B.C.], 7 July 1910, 2; Luc Noppen et al, Quebec – Trois siecles d’architecture, 1979, 423, illus.).
