---

Her image towers over the people walking past her on Pont de la Tournelle, overlooking the Seine River. Her back is facing central Paris as she looks eastward. Legend has it that Saint Geneviève protected Paris against attackers around the year 500. This statue of Saint Genevieve, which was erected in 1923, shows her protecting a child as a symbol of how she protected the city.
