Les Trois Grâces


Another view of Les Trois Grâces, our most famous statue in Montpellier, which is located on La Place de la Comédie (in front of a McDonald's restaurant). Aglaea represents Beauty, Thalia is Good Cheer and Euphrosyne is Mirth. But the people who meet next to the statue do not know much about them. I didn't but Wikipedia helped me! :-))

The fountain around the statue was built a few years ago, to prevent homeless people with their dogs from gathering around the statue. These people then established their headquarters before the entrance of the theater, which led to the creation of a café with a terrace.

  1. I smiled when I read that MaDonald's restaurant has a kind of place of honor across from the famous statue. Amazing photo and story.

  2. We have a lot of McDonalds restaurants downtown and in the suburbs. They are constantly full of people.

    Today the conclusions of a survey about what kids eat was released. Some kids start eating French fries on a regular basis when they are 1 year old.
