📍 France
Located in the heart of Chambéry, La Fontaine des Éléphants, also known as the Elephant Fountain, is a striking monument marrying grandiosity with historical significance. It was erected in 1838 to honor General Benoît de Boigne's contributions to the city, featuring four imposing elephant statues that symbolize de Boigne’s exploits in India. A closer look reveals intricate detailing inspired by Indian architecture, reflected on the base and pillars. The fountain forms a perfect centerpiece for a photo composition, with the charming old town streets as a backdrop. Visit in the early morning or late afternoon to capture the fountain in the best lighting, avoiding harsh midday shadows.
