Cet article date d'il y a plus de 10 ans
A new statue, a piece by the artist Anny Barrois (1944-2013), will be erected on 18 October 2014 at the "Grave of Saint Gatien", at the corner of rues Alleron and Georges-Courteline, which, according to tradition, is the place where the first bishop of Tours was buried around the year 300.
This new statue will replace a statue which was recently vandalised. This initiative is the result of a partnership between the Ville de Tours, the parish of Notre-Dame-La-Riche and generous sponsors.
Its inauguration is giving rise to an event open to all:
10am conferences:
- Michel Laurencin: The life of Saint Gatien
- Jean-Luc Porhel: The grave of Saint Gatien, a little known monument
- Patrick Léon: The representation of baptism in Christian iconography
- François and Jude Barrois: The life and works of the artist Anny Barrois

11:30am inauguration and blessing of the statue
