This statue in Cannes is entitled “À la Vierge”, which means “To the Virgin” in French. It is a statue of the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child in her arms, a common religious motif in Catholic iconography. The inscription on the base indicates that the statue is a dedication to the Virgin Mary and that she is being asked for protection (“O Vierge Marie Garde Nous”).

The base also states that the statue was erected between 1939 and 1945, indicating that it may be a memorial related to the events of World War II. The request for protection to the Virgin Mary (“Garde Notre France”) suggests that this statue was an expression of hope and prayer during or after this turbulent period.
