Flowerball, Fountain, French Flag

There is a really funky and colourful statue, or work of art, or whatever it is, here in Lyon. I really don't know whether to love it or hate it to be honest. Both maybe? Here it is in a close-up:

Those fountains were full of people a week ago. They were trying to get some respite from the heatwave... ...And the flag's been up there as long as the tower has I imagine! Stay cool, :)
