Statues of Liberty in Paris

Many know that the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor was a gift from the French, but did you know Paris has four (smaller) copies of the work, whose actual title is Liberty Enlightening the World?

• In the hall of the Musée d'Orsay (cast by the original sculptor hismelf, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi)
• In the Jardin du Luxembourg
• On the Île aux Cygnes in the Seine River (by the pont de Grenelle bridge, a bit S of the Eiffel Tower)
• In the Musée des Arts et Métiers (this is the original plaster model Bartholdi made)

Bonus: There's a life-sized replica of just Lady Liberty's flame atop the W end of the pont de l'Alma tunnel where (appropriately enough) the Seine-side av. de New York dives under the approach to the bridge.
