    The church steeple repairer

    An old TV program from the French national archives, 1963, showing an old man tasked with repairing the church steeples, especially doing the maintenance of the roosters we have in France in every village at the top of the steeple .

    Terrific old newsreel. Despite what appears a common enough undertaking, many of us unaware what it takes to complete.
    And learned a little - a decree all churches must display the rooster.... It is the symbol of the French people because of the play on words of the Latin gallus meaning Gaul and gallus meaning coq, or rooster.
