Fontaine des Trois Grâces, Bronze fountain in Place de la Bourse, Bordeaux, France

The Trois Graces fountain features three female figures representing beauty, joy, and abundance, standing on a marble pedestal with decorated dolphins at its base.

Before the fountain's installation in 1869, the square contained an equestrian statue of Louis XV from 1743 until 1792, followed by a statue of Napoleon III.

The three female statues, designed by Louis Visconti and sculpted by Charles Gumery, represent the Greek mythological characters Aglaea, Euphrosyne, and Thalia.

The fountain stands in the center of Place de la Bourse, between Fernand Philippart and Saint Remi streets, facing the water mirror installation.

The faces of the three graces were reportedly modeled after Empress Eugenie, Queen Isabella of Spain, and Queen Victoria of England.
