Besançon. Do you know what New York and Corcelle-Mieslot have in common?

Statue of Liberty who opens New York Harbor is not an only child. Paris but also Colmar (on a roundabout) also have their replicas. But we must not forget to add to it Corcelle-Mieslot. The village of a hundred inhabitants north of Besançon has also had its Statue of Liberty for three years.

She dominates the road

It dominates the road and can be seen by all. It owes its life to Philippe Roland, retired and resident of the town, who had it built and erected, there, at the end of his land.

The beautiful is not in bronze but still weighs its 400 kg for 6.30 m high. It was built by the Aqua Anima company from Villers-le-Lac, which specializes in this kind of very large format decoration. Note that the torch lights up on demand when night falls!

If this statue is there it is because Philippe Roland prefers to cultivate his garden rather than travel the world. This statue is offered to his wife as compensation for a trip to New York that did not come. If you don’t go to the Statue of Liberty, the Statue of Liberty will come to you!

Real excursions

Today, it is the object of real visitors’ excursions even if it means entering Philippe’s field, who does not take offense if we respect the place. “I’m glad she makes people happy!” And, unlike New York, access to the Corcelle-Mieslot Statue of Liberty is free!
