Lady Liberty?
 
Is the smaller version of the statue of liberty in Paris? If so, what is it called, and where is it?

It is located in middle of the Seine on a narrow island that looks like the nautical version of a median strip near the Pont de Grenelle. (I've just always called it the Statue of Liberty, so I can't help you with its proper French name.)

Thanks Flyboy!

There is also one in the west or northwest section of Jardins de Luxembourg.

The Seine one is on the Allée des Cygnes. It can be reached by Pont de Grenelle or Pont Bir Hakeim, but photos are best taken from the river banks.

Thanks travelnut!
There's two of them?
Geez, maybe I'll just get one for my yard!

Thanks travelnut!
I don't think that either of those would fit in my carry-on bag. I'll have to find a smaller one!
