À propos du lieu

Fontaine
Place George-Sand 18000 Bourges
  • Cher
  • Centre-Val de Loire
This fountain was built in the 1880s following a donation by Edmé Coulon to the City of Bourges. Designed by architect Jean Baptiste Villatte, the fountain, six metres high, depicts a woman crowned with towers - a symbol of the city and not of Joan of Arc - holding a tablet with the inscription on it: “To his hometown E.Coulon, carpenter, bequest of September 8, 1870.” At this location was the collegiate church of Saint-Pierre-le Puellier, whose disappearance allowed the Revolution to create a square, which was successively called Place Voltaire then Place des Bonnets Rouges, before being baptized Place George Sand.
