Clement's pear is a French dessert pear, with an excellent fondant-like sweet flesh. It can be considered as an improved Williams / Barlett (to which it is closely-related).
This is a pear for eating fresh, in early September. The pears have an excellent flavour but do not keep.

Clement's pear is known for its heavy regular annual production, and excellent disease resistance.
Clement is a seedling of the well-known Williams or Bartlett pear, and is very similar to its famous parent, although it ripens slightly later, and seems more disease-resistant. It was discovered in the 1980s growing in the garden of Clement Lamarr, in northern France.
