Go there and contact
Set on the quay of the port, the bronze statue of the Genius of Navigation was sculpted by the Toulon Louis Joseph Daumas and inaugurated on May 1st, 1847 in honour of King Louis Philippe. This statue once had the nicknames of Genius of the sea, military engineering, marine engineering, but also for the Residents of Toulon "L'Ome negre" or "The Man of Bronze". Erected in honour of all the illustrious sailors, it is under the nickname "Cuverville" it is most often referred to, because of the orientation of the rear anatomy to the city. However, many people have forgotten that this popular nickname goes back to the memory of Vice Admiral of Cuverville, commander of the Mediterranean fleet in 1895.
