The "Equestrian Statue of Louis XIV" shows the French King Louis XIV, also known as the "Sun King", on horseback. The statue was completed in 1699. It depicts Louis XIV in a triumphant pose, looking at the viewer with a majestic expression. The king holds a scepter in his outstretched hand, symbolizing his royal authority. The horse he is riding stands on its hind legs, giving the impression of movement and energy.

One of countless statues in the park... Some are less beautiful, but that's ultimately a matter of taste...
