The allegories of the Rhône and the Saône have left Place Bellecour for good. To be restored …
They were separated from the Horse of Louis XIV, hoisted on a truck to be restored at the Museum of Fine Arts in Lyon place des Terreaux.
Bronzes exhibited in the open air and without any protection since 1957, when Edouard Herriot had decided to stick them to the Sun King, against the advice of the sculptor Lemot.
Once restored, the Rhône and the Saône will be installed at the foot of the monumental Thomas Blanchet staircase.
