Jean de La Fontaine was a French writer. He is considered one of the greatest classics in French literature, and some of his fables are still familiar to every French schoolchild today. He was born on July 8, 1621, in Château-Thierry. Here on the banks of the Marne River stands this sculpture, depicting some of the characters and animals from his fables.
