After spending a fabulous morning in Monaco and Èze with the wonderful artist Amaryllis Bataille-Dierks, we just happened to spot this completely unexpected sculpture of a mermaid mother with her child as we were driving home along the coast. map
Located by the marina in Beaulieu-sur-Mer, the sculpture was created in 1997 by Natasha Jusopov, who also sculpted the Lorelei statue in Germany and the Lake Geneva mermaid statue in 1965.
