signpost and Silhouette of Berlioz
This page is also available in French
On the approach to the town from the direction of La Frette there is a signpost on which an 1845 lithograph of Berlioz by August Prinzhofer is reproduced together with two sketches of Les Halles and the Church of Saint-André. Further down the road at the entrance to the town centre there is a metal silhouette of Berlioz, which is located on the Place des Récollets. The silhouette was erected in the bicentenary year, and was probably inspired by an 1854 silhouette. We have not been able to establish who made this metal silhouette.
