22/38.- Bordeaux,
Monument aux Girondins, fountain
At the foot of the Monument to the Girondins are
two beautiful fountains. In this photo you can see one of
them. The other one is on the other side. Next to
this column there are a couple of statues that honor two
of the greatest names of Bordeaux. One is dedicated to
the philosopher and former Mayor of Bordeaux Michel de
Montaigne. The other one is dedicated to Charles
Louis de Montesquieu, one of the architects of the
"century of the lights". He was not only an intellectual,
but also a winegrower.
