This sculpture is in the heart of Akaroa, showing Charles Meryon a well known painter and engraver from the 1800s who visited Akaroa while in the French navy. Akaroa has a many artistic and eccentric attributes that separates it from other towns in NZ. It’s well worth the 1 hour trip from Christchurch. The sculpture itself was made by Donald Paterson from #christchurch #newzealand #akaroahotel #akaroamotel #accommodationnz #nzmustdo #nztourism #nztravel #nzwinter #nz🇳🇿 (at Akaroa and the Bays) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB6k0hFJnwp/?igshid=1d5e3tyw64tfw
