Louis Braille School

Town Square, Coupvray, France

Louis Braille died in 1852. Fifteen years later a monument in his honor was erected in the Coupvray town square. A bust of Louis Braille is at the top of the monument. A bas-relief of Louis and a young student is on the front panel.

The stone base bears this inscription:

Braille, les Aveugles Reconnaissants
