Residents crossing Place des Terreaux navigate dense café terraces and constant pedestrian congestion just to pause beside the lead chariot on humid afternoons.
The sculpture originated as an entry for a public square in Bordeaux rather than Lyon. Municipal officials in Bordeaux abandoned the installation due to high projected expenses, prompting Lyon to purchase the finished work. Artisans Gaget and Gautier realized the complex structure before its presentation at an international exposition.
The composition portrays France seated on a chariot while guiding plunging horses that personify the major rivers of the territory. Aquatic vegetation forms the reins and bridles held by the central figure. Sheets of hammered lead rest over an internal iron skeleton, positioned across from the Fine Arts Museum as a protected historic monument.
