About the Palais Longchamp
In France, the Palais Longchamp stands as a monument in Marseille's 4th arrondissement. It was built to celebrate the Canal de Marseille, a canal made to carry water from the river Durance to the city. The architect Henri-Jacques Espérandieu designed it around an elaborate fountain structure known as the château d'eau, or water tower.
The Duke of Orleans laid the foundation stone on November 15, 1839, yet the work took 30 years. The huge expense and trouble with local regulations both slowed it. The palace and Longchamp Park both opened in 1869, and collections of art and natural history that had been stored elsewhere moved in at that point. The French Ministry of Culture lists the surrounding park among the Notable Gardens of France.
Three main parts make up the building: the château d'eau, an east wing housing the Musée des Beaux-Arts, and a west wing housing the natural history museum. The fountain's summit carries four large bulls and three women in sculpture, with a central figure for the Durance beside figures for grapes and for wheat and fertility. Behind them, inside the central structure, is a manmade stone grotto with carved stalactites and nymphs.
