Discover a smaller yet equally captivating sister of the Statue of Liberty at the Statue de la Liberté Paris, nestled on the Île aux Cygnes (Isle of Swans) in the River Seine. This lesser-known monument is a gift from the United States to France, commemorating the centennial of the French Revolution.
The Statue de la Liberté Paris is a 1/4-scale replica of its iconic counterpart in New York City. Standing proudly at 22 meters tall, it may be smaller in size, but it packs an equally powerful message of freedom, democracy, and friendship between the two nations.
Originally facing west, towards its “big sister” in New York, the statue was later rotated to face east, towards the Eiffel Tower, creating a symbolic connection between two of the world’s most recognizable landmarks.
For history buffs, admirers of art and symbolism, or anyone touched by the spirit of liberty, the Statue de la Liberté Paris offers a chance to reflect on the enduring values that unite people across borders.
Whether you view it from a boat on the Seine or walk the pedestrian-friendly Île aux Cygnes, this tribute to liberty stands as a reminder of the shared aspirations that transcend national boundaries.
