Informations supplémentaires

Fontaine du Palmier, designed in 1806 by architect and engineer François-Jean Bralle (1750-1832) to celebrate French victories. The palm trunk is surmounted by a gilded figure of the goddess, Victory, holding a laurel wreath in each upraised hand. The gilded finial is by sculptor Louis-Simon Boizot. Four allegorical figures also by Boizot ring the base of the fountain: Prudence, Temperance, Justice, and Strength. Its sphinxes were designed in 1858 by Gabriel Davioud and sculpted by Henri Alfred Jacquemart (1824-1896); they commemorate Napoleon's victory in Egypt.
