Sculpture contemporaine réalisée in 1992 artiste par the Catalan Jaume Plensa. On the upper landing of the grand staircase, outstanding listed site and included in the supplementary inventory of historical monuments, the artist reproduced in bronze letters biblical evocation of the Flood, in memory of the floods that hit the city in 1977. The glass eye, as a symbolic vigil, scans the sky. This surprising audience of words is completed by the second part of the work: the Impossible shelter, installed next to the other side at the end of St Peter bridge. This sculpture symbolizes an inaccessible refuge recalling our helplessness in the irresistible rise of the water.
