Sainte-Féréole unveils its Jacques Chirac square and a bronze statue
- Address
- Place Jacques Chirac, Sainte-Féréole · Directions ↗
Sainte-Féréole now has its own Jacques Chirac square. The choice is symbolic: the former French president's grandparents lived in the village, where his grandfather Abel worked as a schoolteacher. A bronze statue of the fifth president of the Fifth Republic now stands in the heart of the village, where he served as a town councillor from 1965 to 1977. The work is by Brive artist Pierre Mouzat, who also made the bronze bison on the former parade ground of the 126th Infantry Regiment in Brive.
