Place des Jacobins - Lyon Festival of Lights 2017

A highly anticipated and complex piece.

The Lyon architect Jacques Rival, who had previously wrapped the equestrian statue of Place Bellecour in a bubble, returns with the fountain of Place des Jacobins.

This 19th century statue will be transformed into a giant golden clock, topped with a crystal clear bell.
