Paris, France — The elegant garden of the Palais-Royal estate in Paris is welcoming statues of steel by contemporary Brazilian artists within the context of the 2025 Brazil-France season. The works by José Bechara, José Bechara and José Resende were especially chosen to blend into the exquisite setting of the Palais-Royal, a domaine national or national estate and a major heritage site in the French capital. The works are in steel but remain light and somewhat whimsical, blending into the setting of this 17th century monumental palace and garden facing the Louvre and which is a favorite place of promenade for Parisians.
The sculptures will remain until October 26th but the Palais-Royal which is managed by the Centre des Monuments National, remains eternal. Designed by Jacques Lemercier, the Palais-Royal was commissioned by Cardinal Richelieu and would become the residence of the family of Orléans and was the centre of power during the Regency from 1715 until 1723. Entrance is free of charge.
