A small French village has become gripped by the fate of a plastic penguin that disappeared from a public Christmas display, after photographs of the stolen statue were posted on a blog from landmarks around France.
'I've decided to go on a little tour of France,' Pingu claimed on his blog
The village of Céret, in the Pyrenees has been following 'Pingu's' movements ever since the metre-high bird vanished along with its mother and two brothers from an arctic-themed display in late December; an anonymous blog announced it had "gone North in search of a temperature more suited to its lifestyle".
"I know my mother was kidnapped I fled that night. For now the idea of returning scares me. For this reason, I've decided to go on a little tour of France," 'Pingu' claimed on his blog.
Since then, images have been posted of Pingu in the Champagne region in front of a statue of Dom Pérignon, with a note saying he "adores" bubbly, another in Disneyland Paris, where he laments that Disney has never made a film "starring a penguin", and a third at Chateau-Thierry, native town of Jean de La Fontaine, whose fables, he notes sadly, do not mention one of his kind.
