Paris and the Statue of Liberty

When you think of the Statue of Liberty, the thoughts turn inevitably to New York, to his island full of immigrants seeking the American dream. In fact, right there stands the entrance to the harbor on the Hudson River, on Liberty Island Rocky the symbol of the American metropolis and the entire United States of America. This powerful high statue depicting me 93 a woman wearing a long robe and holding a torch in his hand was designed by René Édouard de Laboulaye, built in Paris and designed by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi and built by Gustave Eiffel. The statue, as is known, was donated by the French to the United States of America and transported to New York where he was inaugurated in 1886.
The Statue of Liberty, however, not only in New York admire because navigating the Seine in Paris, you are suddenly in front of the Statue of Liberty located near the bridge in the Ile de Cygnes Grenelle. This is a copy of the homonymous New York and is a gift that the U.S. did to France to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution in 1889. It 's done in scale and measuring a fourth part of the original, with a height of 11 meters and is oriented towards its "sister" in the United States.
So we are faced with a reciprocity of gifts.
Another copy is on a smaller scale in the Romantic gardens of Luxembourg in the same city with statues and monuments as lush trees and plants. Walking in the countryside you can see many of these sculptures, such as small-scale reproduction of the statue of liberty (for the original model), the statue of Beethoven, The Horse's Mouth, the bust of Charles Baudelaire, and dozens of other reproductions of characters famous French historians and rulers of the past.
