The Eiffel Tower and the French Statue of Liberty on the river Seine in Paris, France. There are two smaller copies of the Statue of Liberty in Paris. The larger of these is 35 feet tall (including the base). You can see this on the boat cruise at the far end of the narrow island called the Allée des Cygnes (“alley of the swans”).
This copy was presented to France from America in 1889, marking 100 years since the French Revolution. On the tablets held by the statue are the words 4 Juillet 1776 et 14 Juillet 1789 (“4 July 1776 and 14 July 1789”), which are the dates of the American Declaration of Independence and of the French Revolution.
