Statue of Liberty on the Île des Cygnes in Paris is a replica of the Statue of Liberty in New York City. It is located behind the Pont de Grenelle.

The Statue of Liberty on Île des Cygnes was inaugurated on 4th July, 1889. It faces in the direction of the Atlantic Ocean, towards the statue in New York Harbor, which was built just three years earlier. The lady carries a tablet with two dates inscribed, 4 July 1776, marking the United States Declaration of Independence, and 14 July, 1789, the Storming of the Bastille.
