You can't miss the Bardot bronze if you are walking the Orlat Bardot walkway. I guess it's fun to say you've seen the statue although it's a lot of hype about nothing. Don't go out of your way, but you might want to snap a pic if you stumble across her.

There are several bronze statues of noted Brasilians in various places, including Copacabana Beach. This one happens to be a foreigner, and a French one at that. Sit down, introduce yourself, and have a chat with Bridgette. Ask her to marry you..... or just have a cocktail at sunset. She will probably give you more attention now than when she... More

Queue up with the masses, if the cruise ships are in town to have your photo taken with the original 'supermodel/film star' and the lady that put Buzios on the map.

Doesn't look much like B Bardot. Many people around taking photos. If you stroll along the beach go too see but no use go specially

If you went to Buzios, you must have this picture taken! By the way it is located in a very beautiful place at orla Bardot. Don't miss it! It's a walking reach from downtown Buzios.

Jail the artist! Stop anyone from making statues this ugly! Brigitte Bardot came here only once in the sixties, has no recollection of it whatsoever, and an eyesore like this should not be allowed here or anywhere.

In my opinion I did not think the statue very attractive, not did my daughter. Our Brazilian friend though wanted her photo taken with it. It is along the main street of Buzios, which is quite pretty and nice to stroll along, although quite busy due to the tourists. Overall, Buzios is a nice place to visit with lovely beaches,... More

This little statue attracts so many visitors that there is often a long line of punters wanting to sit on her knee,hug her, squeeze her and sometimes inappropriately fondle her - but all in good fun of course. According to some Brigitte 'discovered' Buzios but this is more myth and fantasy, but it works well!

What a great place for that special photograph! Opposite Casa Branca you'll find a fabulous bronze statue of a young Brigitte Bardot sitting on a bench with her suitcase. Sit on her lap and have someone snap an unforgettable Buzios souvenir.
