Reason	an example of a XIX copy of a XVIIIth century folly in a public garden in La Rochelle, France -- Jebulon (talk)
Review (criteria)	May I play with you ? Another example, named after Louis-Benjamin Fleuriau de Bellevue , a local-famous scientist born in La Rochelle, initiator of the natural history museum of the city.--Jebulon (talk) 22:05, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply] I'm not sure: those kinds of things actually serve a reasonable purpose - protection from rain and sun, and don't have a form that suggests any other purpose. That's less of a folly, in the original sense they're named after, than fake ruins, or a huge building made just to satisfy curiosity. This one even has benches inside.
