Do there exist, in France, other statues, busts
or paintings depicting Beethoven? I don't know
of any more. If you have any information, don't
hesitate to tell me. Thank you.
In the meantime, there exist numerous towns
and cities in France which honour Beethoven
in naming a street after him: Toulouse,
Grenoble, Valence, Riom, Châteaubriant
and Epernay are some of them.
There exist also schools named after Ludwig
van Beethoven, in Montpellier
and in Saint-Germain en Laye, a Beethoven gymnasium
in Epernay, a retirement home in Arcachon, a
centre of auditive re-education in Le Petit
Quevilly (Seine Maritime), a CAMSP (Center for
young people with handicaps) in Rouen, a block
of flats in Nice, and a van Beethoven hotel
in Saint-Julien de Peyrolas (Gard).
And there is a park named after Beethoven in
Gonnesse (Val d'Oise)... |
