Famous Statue gets a New Home in the Loire Valley


The Loire Valley has been home to several internationally reknowned 20th century sculptors, and their works can be found in several unlikely places in the area. Most recently, a sculpture by Alexander Calder has found a new home in Amboise. Over the past few years it has moved around a bit, but now seems to be installed in a very nice location in this picturesque town. A bit of modern amongst the medieval, forming a rather pleasing contrast, and a reminder that these historic towns have a timeline -- they didn't just stop evolving 500 years ago.
