@craftymeg@emmadurnford@khirsch@eyesmile@eyesmile@snaggy@eyesmile@snaggy@farmreporter Thanks for comments and intrigue. The clue is in the title if you hadn't worked it out. I can't be to specific but it resides in someones garden and it is a big garden .
The 'Elephant of the Bastille' was a full-scale plaster model of a monument that Napoleon proposed in 1808 to commemorate his victories. He intended the final statue to be made of bronze from captured cannons. The project was dropped after Napoleon's final defeat, although the original plaster mold of the elephant remained. Victor Hugo had Gavroche living inside the elephant - with his two younger brothers - in spite of its crumbling, rat-infested condition. It symbolized the failure of both the revolution and Napoleon to improve the lot of France's poor. The elephant was finally taken down in 1846.
