Welcome to our new series on sculpture in Normandy.

For our first piece I have featured a sculpture set in the gardens in Avranches in Lower Normandy.

This sculpture below is titled lady of the wind and is created in red wood, made from the wood from the giant redwood trees that were blown down in the hurricanes that swept through this region on December 26th 1999. In the first photo on the left you can see the one remaining redwood tree dominating the background of the photo. The tree stands at the entrance to the gardens in Avranches and you can visit the gardens all year round free of charge. You will the gardens at the top of the town close to the cathedral there is also plenty of parking close by!

If you have any photos of interesting sculpture in your town or village and would like to feature it here on Normandy Magazine then please feel free to email your pictures together with a brief bit of info and I will add it to the magazine pages.
