Comments:
The fountain is dedicated to the greatest French playwright - Moliere.

Molière’s statue was made by Bernard Seurre and placed in 1844.
Under the statue on both sides of the sign are two marble figures symbolizing "light comedy" and "serious comedy". The two figures are holding a scroll in which Moliere’s plays appear.

The statue was photographed on the same day by the same photographer Click for a larger image

The fountain is near the house where Moliere lived Click for sign's details
