This monument to Louis XV on Place Royale was first erected in 1765, featuring a statue by Pigalle along with allegorical figures representing Commerce and Reason. The original statue was destroyed during the French Revolution in 1792, with the bronze melted down for cannon production, and the site underwent several transformations including a pyramid honoring fallen soldiers and various temporary structures.
The current monument was rebuilt between 1818-1819, incorporating Italian marble and featuring a new statue of Louis XV by Pierre Cartellier alongside the preserved allegorical figures from Pigalle's original work.
