- 2.En 1894, les républicains érigèrent un monument commémoratif, constitué d’un socle et d’une colonne de granit de dix mètres. Sur le socle sont gravés les premiers articles des Droits de l’homme et du citoyen, le Serment des Jeunes Volontaires, illustré également par un bas-relief en bronze, le Pacte d’union des municipalités. Le fût portait une allégorie en bronze de la Liberté, jeune femme se libérant du suaire et tendant le rameau d’olivier. Ce monument érigé en 1894, inauguré le 10 août 1896 par le président Félix Faure, commémore le serment des jeunes volontaires du 19 janvier 1790, qui témoigne à la fois du mouvement pour la défense de la constitution de l'État et de l'adhésion aux décrets de l'Assemblée nationale : " Ni Bretons, ni Angevins, mais Français." L'allégorie fixée sur le fût de ce monument a été détruite par un attentat autonomiste en 1938.
