SQUARE DE LA COURONNE - ESPLANADE
We went through it on a daily basis and we did not even see it. Normal, this square of the Crown, which was a real place of life for our grandparents, has experienced the sinister age of the Decrepitness of the Grand Hôtel du Midi. At the end of 2008, the large, successful renovation site of the neighbourhood was finally completed, and the walkers returned to sit on the square. Today, the new restaurants, bars, art galleries, gym, hotels give a real life to this well-rehabilitated neighbourhood. Nearby, the Esplanade still under Restoration at the time we print it is expected to recover its beautiful green face in 2012. The large fountain sculpture of white marble is a pleasure. Sitting in his center, a statue of women headed by a Maison Carrée is a work by James Pradier (1845), grand prix Rome. This majestic victory seems to welcome the traveller upon arrival in Nîmes station. At its side, two naiad represent the source Nemausus and the fountain of Eure, while the two giants, representations of the Rhône and Du, symbolize the powerful strength of the rivers and rivers of the territory.
