Paris : the Time Defender, the clock with automatons, reinstalled in the Horloge district

Do you know the Defender of Time, in Paris? This automaton clock gave you the time with its globe clock and its soldier fighting a chimera with his sword and shield movements... But that was before it was removed from the clock district, near the Pompidou Center, in 2003, because of its condition and the city's refusal to restore it, due to its high cost. A clock that has just returned to the neighborhood, this February 6, 2023. Discover its history!
