Apollo, Bronze statue in Tuileries Garden, Paris, France

The Apollo statue stands tall in the Grand Couvert section of Tuileries Garden, presenting the Greek god in a classical Kouros pose.

Paul Belmondo's children donated this sculpture to the City of Paris in 1988, six years after the French sculptor's death in 1982.

The bronze figure represents Apollo as a young athletic man, incorporating traditional Greek sculptural elements into modern French artistic expression.

The statue remains accessible throughout the Tuileries Garden opening hours, which vary seasonally from 7:00 AM until late evening.

The sculpture stands next to another Belmondo creation named Jeannette, forming a distinctive artistic pairing in the garden's layout.
