Lyon Saint-Exupéry (69) 22 août 2019. La gare SNCF.

La statue au premier plan met en scène Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Elle entend symboliser la transmission du savoir et du courage aux jeunes générations. Le bras gauche tendu vers le ciel, le regard rivé vers les nuages, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, prêt à s’envoler, trône désormais sur le parvis de la gare TGV de l’aéroport de Lyon. Avec à ses pieds, un lion qu’il caresse affectueusement de sa main droite. L’immense statue de bronze haute de 3,20 mètres a été conçue par le sculpteur Pascal Jacquet.

I read Le Petit Prince whilst in lockdown last week; the first time in many years after having had it read to us by our French teacher when I was 15. It left a whole classroom of rugby-playing, playground-fighting boys in tears, and when I read it again last week I wept anew. I'll be sure to find this statue should I ever make it to Lyon once more. Thank you so much for provoking this memory with your photograph.

Look after yourself and those you love.
