In her native Paris her monumental sculptures have been on exhibit in the Courtyard at the Crillon Hotel, Place de la Concorde, The Tuileries Gardens, Place Saint-Sulpice in Saint Germain des Pres and The Trocadero.
The key figures here are the French ambassadors themselves: Sebastien de l'Aubespine (1559-62), Jean Ebrard de Saint-Sulpice (1562-65), Raymond de Rouer de Fourquevaux (1565-72), Jean de Vivonne de Saint-Gouard (1572-82), and Pierre de Segusson de Longlee (1582-89).
As I looked back, this ghost was still standing on the rue Saint-Sulpice and his haunting gaze kept following our group, sending a chill up our spine.
