Description

El monumento está situado cerca del Jardín de las Plantas y frente a la antigua fábrica de perfumes Chiris.

Inaugurado en 1914 , diseñado por los arquitectos Léon Le Bel y James Warnery, con un busto de bronce de Léon Chiris en la parte superior.

Debajo del busto hay un grupo escultórico de mármol : una anciana con el tradicional traje provenzal señala al busto a una joven (o quizás su nieta) que lleva un ramo de flores; las flores probablemente simbolizan el papel de las flores en la perfumería.

François Antoine Léon Chiris (1839-1900), perfumista y político local: primero alcalde, luego diputado y finalmente senador por los Alpes Marítimos.

Bajo su liderazgo, Maison Chiris se convirtió en una potencia mundial de la perfumería ; entre otras cosas, construyó una destilería de estilo morisco (“la Mezquita”) en Grasse y una sucursal en Argelia.
