Well.  You are WAY ahead of me on roosters.  Everything I know about them I learned in the last year--and that was directed from a Norwegian Lutheran perspective.

Obviously, you French have this symbol MUCH further ingrained into your culture.  When we went to purchase our rooster, we found a southern weathervane maker and not much else.  The one we had made was produced by a HVAC company.  Since MOST of the work those folks do winds up buried in walls, they were VERY pleased that the rooster was the crowning touch of restoration project.

I will do some catch-up on French roosters.
