Summary

Description
Español: Debido al interés entre Panamá y Francia se tomó la iniciativa, para que en la parte interior de lo que era la fortaleza militar Chiriquí, se realizara un reconocimiento a los franceses, que en la década de 1880 dieran inicio a la gran empresa canalera, y en honor a este acontecimiento, surge lo que hoy conocemos como la Plaza de Francia. Cabe señalar que en dicha plaza, se fusiló a Victoriano Lorenzo, líder guerrillero coclesano, (nacido en la Provincia de Coclé, República de Panamá), que defendió desde muy joven los derechos de los desfavorecidos. Al fondo de la plaza hay doce paneles de mármol que relatan la aventura canalera francesa, fuente de inspiración del Doctor Octavio Méndez Pereira, también encontramos los bustos de los franceses Armando Reclus y Lucien Napoleón Bonaparte Wyse, y, por supuesto el busto de Ferdinand De Lesseps. Un hermoso obelisco, rematado con un gallo, símbolo de Francia, le da un toque personal a la plaza.
