It is done. Mayenne motorists, who are used to taking the road from Ernée to Gorron, will no longer see this monumental work by the famous Mayenne sculptor Louis Derbré. The Prophet, bronze sculpture, 8 meters high, left Mayenne at the end of March to join Deauville.
The artist’s daughter and the endowment fund, manager of Louis Derbré’s work, had offered the city of Laval to host this huge sculpture. It was done. But, in 2020, there was a change of municipality with the return of the left to business. And then the file got bogged down. Until the Norman city jumped at the chance under the nose and beard of the Mayenne people.
