Les enfants du monde is a sculpture by French artist Rachid Khimoune, located in Bercy Park, Paris. Bronze figures represent children from different countries. Each figure uses impressions taken from streets, including cobblestones and plaques, associated with its represented culture. Small concrete pedestals support each bronze sculpture in the park. Each pedestal carries a plaque naming the artwork, artist, represented culture, and individual sculpture. The group stands on a terrace overlooking the Seine and Bercy Park, beside access to the Simone-de-Beauvoir footbridge. That setting connects the artwork with the river and park. Each sculpture exists in two copies, with one set displayed in Paris and another in its represented country. Khimoune created further versions at the American University of Abu Dhabi and the Shanghai World Expo site. Together, the figures present cultural identity through materials taken from streets and shaped into bronze forms. The work brings countries, cities, and children together within a single Parisian art setting.
