GIGANTICKÁ Fotografie + Description: France-001780 - Place de la Bourse (Taken on June 27, 2014, Sony NEX-7)
- The Place de la Bourse (Place Royale) faces onto the river Garonne. It was laid out in the 1700s by Louis XV's architect, Gabriel, to act as a dramatic frame for an equestrian statue of the monarch.
- The Place de la Bourse is framed on one side by the Stock Exchange (the 'Bourse' that gives the square its name) and on the other side by a museum.
- During the French Revolution the bronze statue of Louis XV on horseback was dismantled and smelted down in 1792 and replaced by a “tree of liberty”.
- This was “uprooted” in 1828 during the French Restoration period under Charles X and replaced by a modest column shaped fountain.
- The present fountain by Louis Visconti was erected in 1869 and is known a the Three Graces (Empress Eugénie, Queen Victoria and Isabelle II of Espagne).
