Les fruits, Gilded bronze statue at Palais de Chaillot esplanade in 16th arrondissement, Paris, France.

Les Fruits depicts a young woman with braided hair wearing a flowing dress, holding her hands behind her back while displaying a gentle and serene facial expression.

The sculpture was created by Félix Desruelles for the 1937 Paris World Exhibition, serving as one of eight golden statues specifically commissioned for this international cultural event.

The artwork symbolizes abundance and fertility, embodying the French artistic vision of the era that sought to celebrate fundamental values and aspects of human civilization.

The statue stands accessible to the public at the Parvis des Droits de l'Homme near Palais de Chaillot, providing visitors with direct views of the Eiffel Tower from this location.
