Origin and history
Leconte de Lisle is a monument erected in Louveciennes, in the department of Yvelines (78), in the Île-de-France region. It is precisely in Mrs Muhlstein's park, at 1 Ter Chemin de Prunay. This monument is dedicated to Charles Leconte de Lisle (1818-1894), the major French poet of the Parnassian movement, although his name is not explicitly mentioned in the sources available for this monument.
The stele was classified as a Historical Monument by order of 18 February 1948. This protection concerns only the stele itself, located in a private park. Available data indicate that its location is approximate, with an accuracy considered "passible" (note 5/10). No additional information is provided on its sponsor, architect or the specific circumstances of its erection.
The monument is part of the local heritage of Louveciennes, a municipality of the Yvelines marked by a rich historical and artistic past. Near Versailles, this area has often attracted literary and artistic personalities, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries. The stele bears witness to the tribute paid to a literary figure, although the details of its specific history remain limited in the sources consulted.
