The unexpected info
The rooster was "lost" for almost 80 years.
In Lisieux, in Calvados, the church of Saint-Jacques had lost its rooster installed at the top of its cross, because of the bombings of June 1944. The inhabitants of the town thought this symbol disappeared, buried under the rubble.
It was not: it was the uncle of a local resident, who had taken part in the search for survivors, who had recovered the sesame… and had kept it at home until his death.
The lucky nephew, who had inherited it, mentioned its existence during a conversation with the hairdresser of the town - incidentally assistant to the mayor -, and assured that he was willing to return it.
According to Corinne Lecourt, assistant to the town hall of Lisieux, the rooster could return to its church this summer, but not at the top: it will be exhibited in the enclosure of the building, without having been restored, with "the stigmata of its history ".
