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 Place de la Bourse, which, since the completion of the Miroir d'eau (Water Mirror), has formed a unified work of art, is one of the most beautiful squares in Europe.

At its center, a fountain depicting the Three Graces has stood for almost 150 years.

The Fountain of the Three Graces, erected in the middle of the Place de la Bourse, 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 Zeus, the father of the gods, who wanted to bring joy, charm, and beauty to humankind.

Here, one sees Euphrosyne, Aglaia, and the third member of the trio, Thalia.
