Sculpture Ear in the river

La sculpture de l'oreille dans la Sorgue, Ear sculpture in the river, Ear sculpture in the river
France, Lisle-sur-la-Sorgue
The Ear in the River sculpture can be found at the bottom of the clear waters of the Sorg, near the Public Garden. The ear is a gift from a Dutch sculptor who loved the city and wanted to be immortalized in its memory. The task of any tourist visiting the city is to find the sculpture, take a picture of it, and, if desired, also throw a coin there for good luck.

When you cross the footbridge "Allé e du 18 Juin", be sure to look into the clear waters of the Sorgues. There, at the bottom of the river, there is a sculpture of an ear. The most common tourist version that this is Van Gogh's ear is, of course, original, but has nothing to do with reality. In fact, the ear is a gift from a Dutch sculptor who wanted to constantly hear the inspiring sound of Sorg. Therefore, the mayor's office decided to place his gift at the bottom of the river. Nearby, on a stone, the lines are carved: "Je repose ma tete sur une pierre et rince mon oreille dans la fleuve".
