[FR] C'était un événement puisqu'il semble qu'aucune statue de ce genre n'ait été créée depuis un demi-siècle. La statue est l'oeuvre du sculpteur Hans Marks. Elle représente un moine-soldat de l'Ordre du Temple dressé sur sa monture qui garde l'entrée de la Commanderie des Templiers de la Villedieu.

[EN] It was a real event since it appears that no statue of this kind had been created for 50 years. It represents a soldier-monk of the Order of the Templars mounted on a horse guarding the entry to the Templar Commandery de la Villedieu.
