During a 2-week period in October 2006, twelve eight-metre-high fibreglass elephants were seen in the main street of the town of Lille in Northern France. The Indian elephant statues were created by Bollywood designer Nitin Chandrakant Desai to promote the Lille festivities on the theme of India (Diwalli Festival). |

They are not african but indian. There's a huge exhibition in Lille concerning India during several monthes, it is called Bombaysers de Lille, and you can find cultural events, special indian food shows and these kind of things. |

Because the town was originally inhabited by African elephants. When, in 1896, the skeleton of one of the elephants was discovered, the Mayor of Lille commissioned a series of statues to commemorate this. |

I guess that guy who kept asking me if I fed the African elephants in my garden put them there for you to see and ask about. He used to ask me every day whether I had fed them but I told him once I put them on the back seat of my car and he hasnt asked me since. Maybe he took them there????? Im not kidding he really and truely did ask me that every day for almost a year!!! I wish I could e mail this question to him !!lol |
