La Fontaine Bartholdi

Visiting La Fontaine Bartholdi adds a striking visual element to a day spent in Lyon. Located in Place des Terreaux, this fountain features four powerful horses that symbolize the Rhône River, showcasing the craftsmanship of Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, known for creating the Statue of Liberty. After a major restoration, it stands as a testament to the city's artistic heritage. Spring is particularly appealing, as the fountains are active and the area comes alive with the sights and sounds of the season.
