The commemorative plaque in honour of General Maxime Weygand, located at Krakowskie Przedmieście 5, pays tribute to his important role in Poland, notably during the year 1920. This plaque is fixed to one of the walls of the entrance of the Czapski Palace where the general resided that year, thus underlining his personal connection with the Polish capital.
The plaque reads:
"In this palace resided in the summer of 1920 General Maxime Weygand 1867 - 1965 Chief of Staff of Marshal Foch Commander of the 2nd class of the Order Virtuti Militari Knight of the Grand Cross of the Order of the Legion of Honour Honorary Citizen of the Capital City of Warszawa Warszawa to its Defender 2010"
In July 2010, a ceremony marked the inauguration of this plaque in the presence of various personalities, including the ambassador of the French Republic, military representatives and local authorities. This tribute symbolises Poland's recognition of the role played by General Weygand during the critical period after the First World War, when he led the French Military Mission in Poland. Under his supervision, the French officers advised the Polish Army, contributing significantly to its training and logistical support, and played a key role in the planning of the victorious counter-offensive at the Battle of the Wieprz River in August 1920.
