Its real name was « Frances-Margaret of Sacred Heart », and she is better known as the « Savoyarde ». During the construction of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, rather than participate in a national subscription, the Savoyards preferred to distinguish themselves by offering a bell. Not just any bell, as it was already the biggest bell in France at that time.
It should not be forgotten that the annexation of Savoy to France (1860) was still fairly recent. The « Savoyarde » can therefore be seen as both a symbol of allegiance to France and a personification of Savoyard pride and regionalism.
