The phallus of their Heracles statue will now be removable and only used in ceremonies in the Parc Mauresque

When first created, the sculptor was forced to shorten Heracles' penis

A three-metre statue of Heracles, or Hercules, Greek mythology's divine hero, has stood in the Parc Mauresque in Arcachon since 1948, and the town has been powerless to stop vandals from constantly snapping off the beloved sculpture's genitalia.

Until now, that is.
