Statue de la Liberté

I always knew the story of the Statue of Liberty in New York City being a gift from France so I guess when I overheard someone saying that Paris has its own smaller version of the statue here, and that it wasn't too far from the Eiffel Tower I figured I had to check it out.

The statue is on an island path between one of the rivers, walking over to you you're pretty much seeing the back on the statue. You can go underneath the crossing path and get a close look of the front of the statue from below, but the better option to get a good front photo would probably be while riding on one of the river boat tours or with a good camera on one of the other cross over bridges further down.

Worth a fly-by. There is not much to France's copy of the Statue of Liberty. You can check it out and take pictures, but there is no going in for a tour nor is it big enough to do much more than say you saw it. It is not too far out of the way and there is never much of a line or crowd to manage.

Just arrived in France to take a riverboat cruise. Our boat was docked at Pont de Grenelle, so of course the first thing we had to do was check out the Statue of Liberty. It faces the Seine, so when standing in front of it you are actually right at the base and are looking pretty much straight up. it's beautiful when approaching it on the river, though! It was a great start to our trip and we enjoyed seeing it up close.

Have heard about this landmark. Always exciting to be able see places and things read about.

"Ours is WAY bigger!" - average American tourist

I have been fortunate in that I have visited more foreign countries than US states, yet unfortunate that New York is not among the states I have explored. Thus, I have never seen the "real thing", although it's still on my bucket list.

Even so, the walk from the Eiffel Tower along the Alles des Cygnes, in the middle of the Seine, is a short romp along a tree-lined, mid-river park, brimming with joggers, cyclists, tourists and dog-walkers: perfect for a sunny day in one of the most beautiful cities on earth! Any American, or fan of liberty and freedom (of which we owe *much* to the French people), as we all should be, owe themselves this half-mile detour to stand below this symbol of the freedoms we take for granted every day.

Our hotel was pretty close to the Eiffel Tower so this park with was a pretty short walk for us. I'm not sure I'd come out of my way to come here. The statue is nothing like it's NY counterpart. It is more like a monument. You cannot walk inside and there is no hoopla here. This is a great park to come and check out local life. There were plenty of people walking their dogs, jogging and even using the workout equipment under the bridge in front of the statue.

Worth a quick visit if you're nearby.

It was here first and the US got a copy, OK much bigger but. If you are passing then it's worth stopping off but not worth spending a hour or so to find it. Perched in the middle of the river on an island. Best seen if you happen to be on one of the numerous river cruises.

This is a mini-replica of the Statue of Liberty in NYC. I came to Paris twice and only saw the Statue of Liberty during my 2nd trip. It has been around since the late 1800s. Yes, if you do not look closely, you will miss it! It is located in the middle of a bridge atop the Seine River. You can view it if you drive along the roads on the side, walk across the bridge, or go on a Seine River tour. Neat fact: this statue faces west toward its bigger twin in NYC. It's hard to get a good photo of it since it's located far in the middle of the bridge (unless you have a nice zooming camera). I vote, we make a mini replica of the Eiffel Tower! Oh wait, Las Vegas already did.

Oh la la, Lady Liberty has a little sister in Paris! Standing on a man made island. You will probably see this lady of liberty if you happen to go on one of the river cruises. You will probably also hear all the Americans saying how it's so much smaller than ours. USA, USA, USA! Now where can I find some French fries?

Who says have to travel to New York for Statue of Liberty. Guess what, they also got servals inparis. Well, not the original size but since the original one was also built by a French architect, it is more meaningful than other copies around the world. This one located on the small island Allée des Cygnes, which just close to the bridge Pont de Grenelle. And the special part of this one, it actually face to the direction to USA. It's kinda cool. It got a small park. The locals like come here to do some training and jogging. In the day with good weather, this is a really cool place to enjoy, they got a fantastic view that allow you to see the Eiffel Tower on the river Seine, around with all the modern buildings. The really cool shopping mall also neat by. It isn't so close to the other sightseeing locations, but sure it is one of the places in Paris that worth to make a visit.
