Jean-Paul Riopelle’s La Joute is a fountain sculpture created for the 1976 Olympics which comprises thirty bronze elements. Fountains are always a challenge for conservators, and this one is no exception!

Every year, the DL Heritage team maintains the bronze sculptures of the fountain to ensure their longevity and preserve their unique appearance.
