"The Jardins de Saint Martin (St. Martin Gardens) are home to numerous works of art, including the bronze with patina sculpture Le Carrefour de la Vie by Swiss artist Edouard-Marcel Sandoz (1881-1971), depicting a woman with four different portraits that are semi-disguised by her cascading hair. The sculpture needs to be admired from all sides to be understood; in one single sculpture, the artist has incorporated childhood, youth, maturity and old age."
