To Liberty and Death

Paris, France view map

From love locks to a gift to France; a full sized replica of the flame topping the US's Statue of Liberty.

The plaque reads:
“The Flame of Liberty. An exact replica of the Statue of Liberty’s flame offered to the people of France by donors throughout the world as a symbol of the Franco-American friendship. On the occasion of the centennial of the International Herald Tribune. Paris 1887–1987.”

The Flame of Liberty is located on Place de l’Alma in the 16th arrondissement. It became a citizen-driven memorial for Diana, Princess of Wales after her death in the tunnel under Pont de l’Alma in 1997. In 2019, the site was officially named Place Diana.
