About this audio guide
This guide to the Parc du Champ de Mars in Colmar follows the money behind its bronze fountain-monument to Admiral Armand Joseph Bruat, a Colmar-born naval officer, and the young local sculptor who built it, Auguste Bartholdi. It traces two separate nationwide fundraising campaigns a century apart, and the war years that came between them. You will also hear how captured cannons first became part of this park's civic art.
