Berlioz’s Birthplace – La Côte Saint-André

Silhouette of Berlioz

This metal silhouette of Berlioz was erected in the bicentenary year and is located on the Place des Récollets at the entrance to the town centre from the direction of La Frette. It was probably inspired by an 1854 silhouette. We have not been able to establish who made this metal silhouette.
