“Les Croisés” by Rachid Khimoune, 1992
Rue du Bois-Merrain
Chartres, July 2002
“Planted since 1992 at the intersection of Marceau, Bois-Merrain and Tonnellerie streets, Rachid Khimoune's three ‘Croisés’ (Crusaders), sometimes renamed ‘Les Samouraïs’ (The Samurai), are made of materials from the street, such as grilles and ornate manhole covers, molded in a foundry and assembled in the old way with bronze nails.” (Les ‘Croisés’, Ville de Chartres)
