Hiking
This sculpture was created in 2005 by Xavier Veilhan. Cut with a billhook from a block of polyurethane, it measures six meters high, eight meters long and three meters wide.
As usual with this type of artistic manifestation, it has fans and detractors because of (or thanks to) the contrast between the architectural style of its environment.

Hiking
The sharp-edged outlines deliberately set by the creator of this lion statue - Xavier Veilhan (born 1963) - contrast strongly with another modern work of art in Bordeaux: the woman's head "Sanna" created by Jensa Plaume with its somewhat elongated form, but soft and gently flowing contours.
