It was carved in 1828 by sculptor Claude Ramey (29 Oct 1754 - 4 June 1838)
and formerly located on the Pont de la Concorde in Paris.

What a worthwhile job the clean up has been (and what superb photos!)
Oops! Formerly, not formally!
Statue looks fantastic since I last saw it! I am returning to Richelieu in August and cannot wait!! A friend of mine has a house and has started his own blog:

It is worth a look and has some funny stories of an Irishman's escapades in Richelieu and surrounds!!
Aww, I'm glad they cleaned him up a bit!

Yeah, I was about to say that also. I was looking at the photo and analysing if its 2 different statue but the caption said, before and after.
i think they clean it because there was some festival hanging on.
it would be better if there are more description about the photo like where is that place, and what even are they having and some abouts.
