Very prominent in the plaza is this impressive monument to this Catholic hero warrior!

During my recent sojourn in France I was often reminded of the great Christian heritage of the eldest daughter of the Church, for example in her sculptures. For starters, take Charlemagne at Notre Dame, as representative of all the heroic promoters and defenders of the Truth in that land. The facade of Notre Dame has dozens of crowned kings of France with Our crowned Lady (their Queen, with scepter and the divine Child in arms) above them.

I love the Cross in his crown!
