Inscription. (This marker and monument has three parts; The L'insurrection de 1851 marker, the monument to the insurrectionists, and a monument to the local Aups' victims of WWII.) Sur les Chemins du Patrimoine L’attachement des Varois pour la république et la démocratie s’illustre dans ce monument, édifié en 1881. Il commémore l’épisode crucial de la résistance varoise au coup d’état du 2 décembre 1851, lorsque Louis Napoléon Bonaparte, président non rééligible de la république française depuis 1848, a choisi par ce coup de force de conserver le pourvoir. La résistance s’organise. La colonne insurgée marche sur Aups où elle arrive la 8 décembre, des hommes venus de tour le haut Var y convergent. La répression est sans merci. La bataille d’Aups se déroule peu de temps après, au matin du 10, c’est la «gelée de décembre» qui restera dans toutes les mémoires. La troupe fusille les insurgés, ceux qui échappent à la mort seront condamnés au bagne, déportés en Algérie ou bannis du territoire. La loi de réparation nationale du 30 juillet 1881 réhabilite l’action des insurgés. Ce monument est alors édifié à leur memoire. Les bas-reliefs qui ornent la pied de la pyramide sont une veritable profession de foi républicaine. On y voit, au premier plan, la constitution sabrée et enchainée.
