Tips

August 20, 2021

Cycling

Installed in front of the former courthouse, now the town hall, the mobile fountain statue is the joint work of Jean Tinguely and Nikki de Saint-Phalle. Donated by François Mitterrand to Château-Chinon, it is remarkable firstly because there are few of them. Five in the world, including two in France. Secondly, it is pleasing because of its movement and its colors, very characteristic of Nikki: vivid, bright, almost dazzling. It is cheerful, astonishing, seductive. It is a wink from the city.

Opposite the town hall in Chateau Chinon, the village in the Morvan where Francois Mitterand, former president of France, was mayor for 22 years
