Obélisque Goscinny

On the forecourt of Angoulême's train station, the Goscinny Obelisk (Obélisque Goscinny) stands as Europe's largest monument dedicated to comics — a five-metre column of pale Burgundy limestone carved with 82 of the funniest, best-known lines ever written into Franco-Belgian bande dessinée. It honours René Goscinny, the scriptwriter behind Astérix, Lucky Luke, Iznogoud and Le Petit Nicolas, and the city's proud identity as the capital of the 9th Art. Offered to Angoulême by the Institut René Goscinny and inaugurated in January 2017 during the city's world-famous comics festival, the obelisk greets visitors the moment they step off the train. Its four faces, base included, are inscribed with cult quotations, making it an outdoor gallery of wordplay that invites passers-by to read, smile and recognise the lines by heart. Free to see at any hour, it is one of the most charming and original public artworks in the region.
