David vainqueur de Goliath

The statue stands on a tall column near a central basin, depicting the biblical figure David after his victory over Goliath.

Created around 1840, this bronze sculpture replaced the original marble statue, which was relocated to the Palais du Luxembourg for preservation.

The statue represents one of many artworks in the gardens that demonstrate the French tradition of public art displays in urban spaces.

The statue remains accessible throughout the garden's opening hours, from early morning until evening, with variations based on seasons.

The identity of the original sculptor remains unknown, adding an element of mystery to this centuries-old artistic creation.
