The statue of Saint Geneviève was created by Michel Mercier in 1845. She has very long open hair with two plaids at the sides. She wears a tight top and a long skirt. Her right hand rests on her left, which holds some cloth.
From a young age Geneviève devoted herself to religious living. In the year 451 she persuaded the inhabitants of Paris not to surrender to the Huns.
