The town of Izon, near Bordeaux, is rebuilding the Statue of Liberty that once stood in its main square, 100 years after it was first donated by a local man who emigrated to the United States – and with it, restoring a sense of pride.
The town of Izon sits halfway between Bordeaux and Libourne – a string of family homes along a 4-kilometre stretch of the D242 departmental road, with no real centre.
