Commentary
La place de la Bourse est la première brèche dans les remparts du Moyen Âge et est destinée à servir d’écrin à la statue équestre, détruite à la Révolution, du roi de France Louis XV. Inaugurée en 1749, elle est le symbole de la prospérité de la ville. Successivement appelée place Royale, place de la Liberté pendant la Révolution, place impériale sous Napoléon Ier, puis à nouveau place Royale à la Restauration. En 1848, à la chute de Louis-Philippe Ier, elle devient place de la Bourse.
L’intendant Boucher veut ouvrir la ville sur le fleuve. Il souhaite moderniser Bordeaux et offrir un visage de la ville plus accueillant à l'étranger qui vient par la rive droite de la Garonne. On supprime une partie des murailles qui ceinturent Bordeaux et on construit une place Royale. Une statue équestre du roi Louis XV est placée en son centre.
À la Révolution, la statue est remplacée par un arbre de la liberté. Elle prend le nom de « Place Impériale » à l'occasion de la venue de Napoléon Ier.
En 1828, sous la Restauration, la ville élève une modeste fontaine, en forme de colonne de marbre rose surmontée d'un chapiteau blanc et d'un globe, à l'emplacement de la statue équestre disparue à la Révolution. En 1869, elle est remplacée par l'actuelle « fontaine des Trois Grâces » représentant Aglaé, Euphrosyne et Thalie, les filles de Zeus, dessinée par Louis Visconti, sculptée par Charles Gumery et coulée par la fonderie Thiébaut Frères.
Intimement liée à l’histoire de la place Royale (actuelle place de la Bourse), l’édification de la statue équestre de Louis XV interviendra à Bordeaux plus tard que dans d’autres villes en raison de la forte rancune que gardait notre cité à l’égard du roi, suite aux durs châtiments infligés lors de la révolte de 1675.

The Place de la Bourse is the first breach in the medieval ramparts and is intended to serve as a setting for the equestrian statue, destroyed during the Revolution, of the King of France Louis XV.. Inaugurated in 1749, it is the symbol of the city's prosperity. Successively called Place Royale, Place de la Liberté during the Revolution, Place Imperiale under Napoleon I, then Place Royale again during the Restoration. In 1848, after the fall of Louis-Philippe I, it became Place de la Bourse..
Intendant Boucher wants to open the city to the river. He wants to modernize Bordeaux and offer a more welcoming face of the city to foreigners who come via the right bank of the Garonne.. Part of the walls surrounding Bordeaux were removed and a Royal Square was built.. An equestrian statue of King Louis XV is placed in its center.
During the Revolution, the statue was replaced by a tree of liberty. It took the name of “Place Impériale” on the occasion of the arrival of Napoleon I.
In 1828, during the Restoration, the town erected a modest fountain, in the form of a pink marble column topped with a white capital and a globe, on the site of the equestrian statue that had disappeared during the Revolution.. In 1869, it was replaced by the current “Fountain of the Three Graces” representing Aglaë, Euphrosyne and Thalie, the daughters of Zeus, designed by Louis Visconti, sculpted by Charles Gumery and cast by the Thiébaut Frères foundry..
Closely linked to the history of the Place Royale (now Place de la Bourse), the construction of the equestrian statue of Louis XV took place in Bordeaux later than in other cities due to the strong resentment our city held against the king, following the harsh punishments inflicted during the revolt of 1675..
