The Fountain of the Three Graces is a monumental fountain that has been located in the center of the Place de la Bourse in Bordeaux since 1869.
The bronze statue represents the three Graces (Charites in Greek mythology): Aglae, Euphrosyne and Thalia. These daughters of Zeus and Eurynome evoke beauty (Aglae), joy (Euphrosyne), and abundance (Thalie). This theme was very common in cities during times of prosperity and there are Fountains of the Three Graces in Montpellier, Nice, Langrune-sur-Mer, Guéret, Vezzani...

The base is made of Jurassic marble, the basin is made of cast iron.
According to some, the sculptor took inspiration for the faces of the three statues from three rulers of the time: Empress Eugenie, Queen Isabella of Spain and Queen Victoria of England.

The Exchange Square, which since the completion of the Miroir d'eau has combined with it to form a complete work of art, is one of the most beautiful squares in Europe.

A fountain depicting the Three Graces has risen at its center for almost 150 years.
The Fountain of the Three Graces, erected in the center of the Exchange Square, was designed by Louis Visconti and executed by Charles Gumery. The fountain was completed in 1867.

In Greek mythology, the Three Graces are daughters of the father of the gods, Zeus, who wanted to bring joy, charm, and beauty to humanity with them.

Here you can see Euphrosyne, Aglaia, and the third of the group, Thalia.
