It's not New York but a beautiful sight on the Ile des Cygnes in the middle of the Seine River in Paris. There stands Lady Liberty. Given to the city in 1889, it faces southwest, downriver along the Seine. There are two dates on her tablet; July 4, 1776 the date of the Declaration of Independence and July 14, 1789 the date of the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution.
