| | Our photo of the week was submitted by Dorothy Perrucci, and features La Dame de Notre Renaissance, along the Nashua River at Water Street. Dorothy writes: “Lilacs and other flowers are blooming in the Le Parc de Notre Renaissance Francaise, also known as Renaissance Park or the French Park. Thereâs newly planted flowers by the park’s centerpiece, La Dame de Notre Renaissance Francaise (The Lady of Our French Renaissance). The sculpture depicts an 1870s millworker and her young son who is holding a French text. It was the first full figure erected in Nashua in a century and the first in New England to recognize and honor Franco-American culture by recognizing women and children who worked in the mills during the first half of the 20th century. The sculpture was privately funded by the Franco-American community and created by sculptor Christopher R. Gowell.”
