Le Soleil de Langres, Steel sculpture near A31 motorway in Mardor, France.
Le Soleil de Langres is a large wrought iron structure built beside the A31 motorway near Mardor. The work uses geometric forms that combine to create the shape of a sun.
The work was inaugurated in 1983 and marked the completion of a major motorway section in this region. Its creation coincided with the finishing of a transportation route that connected regional infrastructure.
The work depicts a stylized sun and serves as a visual marker for travelers heading south along the motorway. It stands out in the landscape and draws the eye of those passing by.
The sculpture is easily visible from the motorway and can be seen from several exit points. Visitors should know that the best views come from the moving vehicle or from an authorized stopping area nearby.
The work stands at a special geographic location where the water divides of several major basins converge. This invisible boundary makes the site a hidden meeting point of European water systems.
