ABOUT THIS ARTWORK: ETRETAT MONUMENT
This memorial is located in the village of Etretat on t a huge hill, Porte d'Amont, limeside cliffs over the English Channel. On May 8, 1927, two brave aviators who tried to cross the North Atlantic non-stop in their biplane called "L'Oiseau blanc" (white bird) flew over the cliffs of Etretat. This is the last time the pilots Charles Nungesser and François Coli were seen. A few weeks after the attempt it was finally the American Charles Lindbergh who crossed the Atlantic, from New York to Le Bourget aerodrome at the controls of the "Spirit of Saint-Louis". Recent research by Bernard Décré suggests that Nungesser and Coli were stranded at sea not far from the American coast. In 1928, a monument was erected on the cliff of Amont in their memory. Destroyed in 1944, it was replaced in 1962 by a 24-metre high concrete spire, inclined at 60° and pointed towards the sky. Just below this image, but not seen here is an old church. The church, Chapelle Notre Dame de la Garde is a neo-Gothic chapel and its hull-shaped nave refers to the vocation of a place of worship for the sailors of the place. Silhouette of stone, topped with a roof with two slopes, covered with slate, and facades in freestone, adorned with gargoyles with fish heads. It was built following a mission preached by Reverend Father Michel in 1854, the inhabitants decided to build a chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin. The sailors carried the materials for the building on their backs and arms up that horrible hill. On August 6, 1856, it was blessed as a chapel for fishermen and sailors. The German occupier decided to destroy it in 1942. It is only after its reconstruction in 1950, that it will be renamed under its current name of “Notre Dame de la Garde” during a blessing made by Monsignor Martin, then Archbishop of Rouen and under the aegis of René Coty, Vice President of the Council of the Republic.
