Allegorical statue called "La Nuit", which in English translates to "The Night", is one of four statues that were sculpted to depict different times of the day, and all were executed by different artists. Sculpted by Charles Alphonse Achille Gumery, this commission was started back in the late 1860s after the new gardens were laid out, however, it was actually completed by Jules Thomas after the original artists death.
