Le P'tit Quinquin
This is the monument/statue celebrating the lullaby Le P'tit quinquin, in Lille, France. This is more than a lullaby though. It is the unofficial anthem of both Lille and Picardy, it sparked a revival in the Picardy language of "Long Chiti'mi" And became the marching song of the soldiers from northern France, who took part in the Franco-Prussian war in the 1870s.

such monuments are so photogenic...this one is also very moving...
Thanks for dropping by Catherine.
This is the first monument to a lullaby that I have ever seen and Art Nouveau statues are very rare in this part of Northern Europe. This is a really nice monument.

Very good shots my friend.
what Camera did you sue?
Thanks Baron but it's such a nice monument it would be hard to take a bad photo of it.
The camera is nothing special Baron, just a 7 mega pixel happy snapper with a 3x zoom, it's starting to be a little dated, I think I will be looking for a new one in a few months.
