Lucky the Horse by Rémi Pesce

The statue of Lucky the Horse is one of the most popular and meaningful attractions in the village.

Here all the inhabitants of the city are represented
The artist, Rémi Pesce, used 3,000 horseshoes to create the statue, which represents the approx. 3,000 inhabitants living in St. Paul de Vence.

Lucky the Horse stands peacefully and overlooks the western part of the parapet and can be admired by the city’s many visitors.
