As you pass the Paravang, you suddenly encounter this mysterious, somewhat sad figure with his checkered suit and jester's cap. This bronze artwork is the "Monument for a Saltimbanque" (a French term for a travelling acrobat or street artist), created by local artist Yves Rhayé.
The statue forms a beautiful, contrasting interplay with the location.
Where the Paravang was the place for the rich aristocracy to stroll and gossip elegantly in the early 20th century, here now stands a symbol of the poor, travelling folk artist who had to entertain the rich back then.
