Statue of Liberty in Paris
You'll find the Statue of Liberty in Paris on the Île aux Cygnes. The statue is a replica of the famous monument in New York City offered by the Americans to the French. Formally named 'Liberty Enlightening the World' most of us know, and love her as, 'the Statue of Liberty'.
Three years after the inauguration of the Statue of Liberty in New York City, the French people living in the United States offered to their fellow countrymen of France a replica of the statue for the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. The inauguration of this statue took place on 4 July 1889 (the American Independence Day) in the presence of French president Sadi Carnot.
