A weathered grey stone monument stands prominently in Sallaumines, France, bearing the inscription "LA VILLE DE SALLAUMINES A SES ENFANTS VICTIMES DE LA CATASTROPHE DE COURRIÈRES 10 MARS 1906" on its hexagonal column, with "ON PUBLIQUE" visible on its base. The monument features a central sculpture of a woman standing, her left hand pressed against her face in a gesture of grief. She holds an infant cradled in her right arm, while a small child clings to her left side, looking upwards. The figures exhibit signs of erosion consistent with outdoor exposure. In the background, to the right of the monument, a red brick building with white architectural trim is visible. This structure features multiple windows, a prominent clock face at its apex, and a tiled roof, suggesting a municipal or public building. Several vehicles, including a dark grey Toyota Yaris (French registration CR-950-GQ visible) and other cars, are parked on a paved surface behind the monument. A tall, white flagpole rises directly behind the monument's figures. Small clusters of yellow and orange potted chrysanthemums are situated on the ground around the monument's base. The sky above is overcast with grey clouds.
