    Fontaine Bartholdi is unmissable among the terraces on Place des Terreaux. The statue weighs 21 tons and was made by sculptor Bartholdi, the designer of the Statue of Liberty in New York. The fountain represents France in the person of Marianne, who reins in four horses (rivers).
    The square, which has 69 mini fountains, is the meeting place for residents who often come here for a drink.

      The lead masterpiece signed by Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, the fountain on the Place des Terreaux, a landmark of Lyon, was completely restored in 2018.

      It represents the return of Amphitrite to the Place des Terreaux.

        The four horses depicted symbolize the four largest rivers in France: Garonne, Loire, Rhône and Seine. After Lyon bought the fountain, the female figure directing the quadriga was reinterpreted: Amphitrite became Marianne.
