He reminded me that we bought a book about the Tuileries Gardens, so I looked up this statue, and to answer E.T. Suzy's question, it says that the 16 children surrounding him represent the 16 bends of the flooding Nile that fertilized Egypt. Also, it says that this statue was placed here in 1719!!monnicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02810903118624970368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-88745510247974223402012-06-19T02:24:52.802+02:002012-06-19T02:24:52.802+02:00This is an amazing sculpture!

My boyfriend was trying to photograph this statue, but a pesky pigeon had landed smack-dab on top of the statue's head. He spent a long time trying to shoe away the pigeon, but this statue is tall, and the pigeon was not deterred. Ultimately, the pigeon won and now we have a photo of this beautiful statue avec monsieur pigeon. My boyfriend will be jealous to see that you got a photo sans pigeon :)monnicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02810903118624970368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-36657466380560292582012-06-19T00:38:41.958+02:002012-06-19T00:38:41.958+02:00That's one sexy river.
