Fountain in the heart of Chambéry, the most popular monument for selfies, featuring four elephants forming a cross.

This 17.65-metre ensemble in Saint-Sulpice limestone is a clever fusion of three elements: fountain, column and statue. The fountain features the Savoy cross, symbolized by four cast-iron elephants projecting water into an octagonal basin. They carry towers adorned with bas-reliefs and trophies, recalling the General's exploits in India and his generosity to the city. The column, sculpted in the shape of a palm tree, bears a statue of General de Boigne.

Un lieu symbolique de la ville de Chambéry avec son monument et ses quatre éléphants indiens en hommage au général bienfaiteur Benoit de Boigne. C'est superbe, mais il manque un peu de verdure et de bancs pour s'asseoir et profiter de la place. Un bel et ancien hôtel particulier qui reçoit maintenant une agence bancaire et à découvrir sur la place. Son histoire est intéressante.
