Rondpoint du Centaure, Metal statue at Chênes roundabout in Noisy-le-Roi, France
The Centaur statue stands at the center of the roundabout, showing a metallic figure that combines human and horse forms in a single integrated shape. The sculpture sits at a main intersection in town where multiple roads converge, making it visible to drivers and pedestrians moving through the area.
The sculpture was installed in 1989 following the completion of urban development works in the Park district of Noisy-le-Roi. This moment marked a turning point when the municipality established new infrastructure and public spaces to serve its growing community.
Sculptor Serge Manceau created this metallic figure to bridge the modern Park district with the older village center. The work serves as a visual anchor point in the public space where residents recognize and reference the location in their daily lives.
The statue sits at a central intersection where it is easily reached from multiple roads, making it simple to locate and visit. You can view it anytime during daylight hours from the nearby sidewalk, and there are no special hours or restrictions to plan around.
Local residents regularly gather at this sculpture for community events and meetings throughout the year, using it as their natural gathering spot. This shows how a public art installation can organically become woven into the everyday social fabric of a town.
