The Monument to the Girondins
The Monument aux Girondins and its large fountain are strong symbols of the city of Bordeaux.
Erected on the Place des Quinconces, in the heart of the city, this impressive column topped by the bronze statue of "Liberty breaking its chains" is a tribute to the Gironde deputies who were victims of the Terror in the 18th century, during the French Revolution. It is 54 metres high.
It is a must in Bordeaux, which will punctuate your walk in the city. Take advantage of your stay in our hotel Au Comté d'Ornon to admire the statues and the fountain.
