Overgrown and mysterious, that’s the Le Gouffre statue in the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont. It’s a stone figure, almost swallowed by ivy. Le Gouffre, French for “The Abyss,” was created in 1933 by Sylvain Kinsburger. This sculptor, born and died in Paris (1855-1935), also designed medals. As you walk the circular path around the lake, you can’t miss Le Gouffre. The ivy adds to its enigmatic presence, almost like nature is reclaiming the artwork. It invites you to ponder its meaning, lost in the abyss of time and foliage. Le Gouffre quietly observes the park’s hustle and bustle, a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.
