A French town has been told it must take down its statue of the Virgin Mary to comply with a national ban on religious symbols in public spaces, the town's mayor said on Saturday.
A court has given the town of Publier, in eastern France, three months to remove the work.
If it fails to do so, it will be fined €100 (£80; $105) a day.
Mayor Gaston Lacroix said he will try to relocate the marble statue on private land.
