They affectionately nickname him Monette. And, probably, they will continue to do it with even more affection. This is an elderly French woman, a native of the Norman municipality of Escoville, who has donated a whopping two million euros to that same town. But he has done it with two conditions.
It is about the history that it collects, which has crossed borders due to its great legacy. More than a dozen houses and additional funds that quadruple the annual budget of the municipality itself.
The truth is that this woman was a discreet neighbor, but known by those she met on her frequent visits to the bakery or the cemetery. In fact, the two conditions he has imposed for local coffers to benefit from his legacy have a lot to do with Escoville’s historical heritage.
The two conditions for the legacy of two million to the town of Escoville (France)
Monette’s two conditions for Escoville to keep his legacy of two million euros are the perpetual maintenance of the three family tombs in the municipal cemetery and the restoration of the 16th century church. In fact, thanks to that capital, Escoville is preparing important restoration works on the church, including the renovation of the main altar, a cabin and various masonry elements. Some actions that will also benefit the doors and walls of the cemetery.
Escoville only had to meet these two requirements to access the legacy of Monettebut they did not want to stop there and are also preparing another performance to honor the altruism and commitment to the history of the people of Monette. They are going to create a new park in the town that will bear his name and will be around a pond that the council had recently acquired. They will also put a commemorative plaque in the church.
