Apollon is back at the Palace of Versailles, after a year of restoration at the Saint-Jacques workshops at the Coubertin foundation in Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse. Cast in lead between 1668 and 1670 by the sculptor Jean-Baptiste Tuby, a bit like "the French Michelangelo" to respond to the impatience of Louis sun.
The work, entirely financed by the French sponsor CMA CGM, consisted of restoring the metal structure, correcting the defects and folds.
