Borne No. 10 adorned with the Phrygian hat: inscription by decree of 12 January 1931

Origin and history

The Phrygian bonnet terminal in Savigny-sur-Orge is a historic monument located in the Essonne department in Île-de-France. She is distinguished by her medallion adorned with a Phrygian hat, republican symbol, and bears number 10. Located in the courtyard of the administrative center of the city, it bears witness to a local heritage marked by French political history.

Classified as historical monuments since 12 January 1931, this terminal belongs to the departmental property. Its precise location, 48 Avenue Charles de Gaulle, and its state of conservation raise questions about its initial historical location. Although little documented, its iconography evokes revolutionary values, typical of public monuments of the late 19th or early 20th century.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its protected status but do not specify its creation date or installation context. The boundary remains an object of study for local historians, illustrating the Republican heritage in the urban development of Savigny-sur-Orge. Its current state and public visibility make it an accessible heritage element, although little known to the general public.
