Fontaine de la Victoire by GUYON
It is surely not the nicest monument of Paris but it is in the middle of the Place du Chatelet which is the center of Paris. I mean the crossroad of the main metro and RER lines.It is devoted to the Napoleon's victories (like Arc de Triomphe which is more famous) which are written on the column.
The pedestal was added by the nephew Napoleon III who chose to put a sphinx (a la mode on this time).
The 4 women at the basis of the column are : the Faith, Viligence, Law and Force.
Tell me if you have guessed...It is located at the best place of Paris (the more central) and nobody really sees it.
