The life sized golden statue of Joan of Arc on Decatur St. seems to raise her banner and salute us.
This was not retouched - and the statue doesn't move. France presented it to the citizens of New Orleans in 1972 - it was moved to it's present location in the French Market Square in 1999 (This statue is an exact copy of the famous 1880 Emmanuel Fremiet equestrian statue of Joan located at Place des Pyramides, Paris.)
