Elephants Fountain, Historical monument in central Chambéry, France.
The Elephants Fountain stands 17.65 meters tall and features four cast iron elephants directing water streams into an octagonal basin below.
The monument was built between 1835 and 1838 to commemorate General Count de Boigne, who served in military campaigns in India.
This monumental fountain combines three architectural elements: a base with elephants, a central column adorned with military trophies, and a statue.
The monument stands in Place des Éléphants in central Chambéry and remains open to visitors throughout the year.
The cast iron elephants form a cross of Savoy and pour water through their trunks into the lower basin of the fountain.
