Summary

edit
Description

View downstream from the Armagh Street Bridge. To quote from a plaque erected by Marie Emily Le Lievre (Akoroa) and Christchurch City Council:-

"The Weeping Willows of Christchurch commemorate François le Lievre who first came to New Zealand on the French whaling ship 'Le Nil' in 1838. After landing at Akaroa he planted weeping willow cuttings taken from Napoleon's grave on the Island of St Helena. There is strong evidence to suggest that the first willows planted on the banks of the Avon River grew from cuttings taken from these trees."

Marie Emily Le Lievre was a great-great-granddaughter, of François le Lievre.
