Absolutely dramatic that these guys left France for the US, and it's not even their fault.
They are by far the most talented and ambitious welders and sculptors in all of Europe. They meticulously produced masterpieces all year long, and yet the French government and French people in general spat openly to their face.
two years ago, they cast the most complete and polished statue of Jeanne d'Arc I've ever seen: a 4.5m equestrian bronze covered in gold leaf, and they put it on a public square in Nice, right in front of the Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc church.
It came out of their small foundry in Meaux, and traveled almost 900 km across the entire country to get to Nice. This is the best testimonial of French craftsmanship you could ask for, at a time when we outsource literally everything abroad.
So what did bureaucrats do once there ? They tore it down. Officially the contract got canceled on a procurement technicality, no public tender. The real reason is that the atelier is suspected of being right-wing affiliated for praising christian symbols. They produce a monument the whole city should be proud of, and it is removed because of political assumptions.
France messed up once again. Bureaucrats have become so blinded by ideology that we can no longer praise talent and ambition. They drive out the last people still doing great things, while becoming completely blind to the objective idea of beauty in the name of fake moral values.
It's right to leave when you get more recognition abroad than from your own. At the opposite, the second they looked west, Peter Thiel came in with funding and Elon publicly praised their work. Their next big thing will stay in the US and they deserve it.

Our first contribution to the rebeautification of the USA, here in Washington DC.
As Frenchmen, we are honored to serve the friendship between our two great nations.

@SpectroFrance Wrong, there are still tons of talents building ambitious things, they are indeed gradually leaving for better recognition and opportunities but there's still hope :)
