No, I don't understand it either...


During Dave and Vicky's visit, a contemporary Art exhibition was being installed in the Jardin du Luxembourg.
What is all this about , then? Cardboard cutouts of a man in a suit, who is masked by sheets of paper, holding a pair of red stilettoes and being held back by a musketeer? What are the references here? The statue is of a 17th century French queen. Any offers?


Now, this reference is plain. We are in Joan of Arc territory. Jeanne d'Arc, whose surname is "Brûlée-par-les-Anglais". I have lost count of the times I have been reminded of this particular crime.
