Monument dating from the end of the XIXth century, in homage to the Girondins victims of the Terror, by the Bordeaux sculptor Alphonse Dumilatre.

At the end of the 19th century, Bordeaux wanted to build a monument to the Girondin deputies who were victims of the Terror. In the style of a pompier, the ensemble consists of two bronze fountains celebrating Concord, Fraternity, Strength and the Republic, and banishing Lies, Vice and Ignorance, mixed with marine horses spitting out jets of water. As for the 43-meter high column, topped by Liberty breaking her chains with one hand and holding the palms of Liberty in the other, it still stands guard over the square, facing the river.

Jolie fontaine
Situé à côté de la place des quinconces, le monument aux Girondins est une colonne surplombée par une statue avec, a son pied, des fontaines. Il s'agit d'un lieu emblématique de la ville de Bordeaux.

très beau et surprenant
Encore un des lieux que vous ne pouvez manquer lors de votre visite pédestre de Bordeaux, surtout si vous êtes place des Quinconces, c'est tellement majestueux et imposant avec cette grande colonne et ses fontaines en pourtour du plus bel effet, surtout quand les jets d'eau sont en fonction!

Statue des girondins
Superbe colonne avec la "liberté" en son sommet.
Des chevaux des deux fontaines jaillissent des jets d'eau remarquables.
Visible de loin, cet édifice permet aussi de s'orienter dans le centre de la ville.
