I saw that story about the Suez Canal - it was in a documentary (PBS) that reached Australia about the story of the statue. The original stone sculpture that was the model is still in France. If you see the delightful French documentary about how the moon landings were 'faked' on the set of 2001 by Kubric, one of the characters is being interviewed in front of it (you have to look quick!) and mentions going up the road to some (unremembered at moment) French town...
