Vendredi à vélo - and a monster move!

Looking towards 'The Monster of Tours', the statue created by the artist Xavier Veilhan and installed in Place du Grand Marché back in 2004.  

It was removed last Monday to allow pedestrianisation work to be done in the area and to have a little restoration work on The Monster itself - will it return?
