Paris - Chaillot: Flamme de la Liberté by wallyg

Paris - Chaillot: Flamme de la Liberté

The Flamme de la Liberté (Flame of Liberty) is a gilded, full-scale replica of the Statue of Liberty’s flame, standing approximately 3.5 meters tall on a marble pedestal in Place d l'Alma near the northern end of Pont de l’Alma. Presented in 1989 by the International Herald Tribune to commemorate its centennial, the sculpture was a token of gratitude for French contributions to the 1986 restoration of the Statue of Liberty. Although originally intended for Place des États-Unis, it was ultimately installed at Place de l’Alma and dedicated by then-Mayor Jacques Chirac.

Since the tragic death of Princess Diana in 1997 in the tunnel beneath the Pont de l’Alma, the Flame of Liberty has become an unofficial memorial site, with visitors leaving tributes around the monument. In 2019, the city of Paris formally acknowledged this role by naming the plaza Place Diana.

Flamme de la Liberté

Flamme de la Liberté (Chama da Liberdade), um monumento dedicado ao espírito de liberdade, com vista para a entrada oeste do túnel Alma na Praça Diana. Esta escultura, em forma de chama, tornou-se também uma homenagem pungente à Princesa Diana, que perdeu tragicamente a vida num acidente de viação neste mesmo local, a 31 de agosto de 1997.

Flamme de la Liberté, Paris, France.

La Llama de la Libertad (Flamme de la Liberté) en París es una réplica de la llama de la antorcha de tamaño completo, cubierta de pan de oro de la Estatua de la Libertad (Libertad iluminando el mundo), ubicada en la entrada del puerto de Ciudad de Nueva York desde 1886. El monumento, que mide aproximadamente 3,5 metros de altura, es una escultura de una llama, ejecutada en cobre dorado, sostenida por un pedestal de mármol gris y negro. Se encuentra cerca del extremo norte del Pont de l'Alma, en la Place de l'Alma, en el distrito 8.

Fue ofrecido a París en 1989 por el International Herald Tribune en nombre de los donantes que habían contribuido con aproximadamente $ 400,000 para su fabricación. Representaba la culminación de la celebración en 1987 de ese periódico de su centenario de publicación de un periódico en inglés en París. Más importante aún, la Llama fue una muestra de agradecimiento por el trabajo de restauración en la Estatua de la Libertad realizado tres años antes por dos empresas francesas que realizaron trabajos artesanales en el proyecto, a saber, Métalliers Champenois, que realizó el trabajo de bronce, y los Estudios Gohard, que aplicó el pan de oro. Si bien el obsequio a Francia fue impulsado por el centenario del periódico, la Llama de la Libertad, en términos más generales, es un símbolo duradero de la amistad que une a los dos países, tal como lo fue la estatua en sí cuando Francia se la dio a los Estados Unidos. .


En la base del monumento, una placa conmemorativa cuenta la siguiente historia:

"La Llama de la Libertad. Una réplica exacta de la llama de la Estatua de la Libertad ofrecida al pueblo de Francia por los donantes de todo el mundo como símbolo de la amistad francoamericana. Con motivo del centenario del International Herald Tribune. París 1887 –1987 ".

La Llama de la Libertad se convirtió en un monumento no oficial para Diana, Princesa de Gales, después de su muerte en 1997 en el túnel debajo del Pont de l'Alma. La llama se convirtió en una atracción para los turistas y seguidores de Diana, que colocó la base con material conmemorativo.

The Flame of Liberty (Flamme de la Liberté) in Paris is a full-sized, gold-leaf-covered replica of the flame of the torch from the Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World), located at the entrance to the harbor of New York City since 1886. The monument, which measures approximately 3.5 metres in height, is a sculpture of a flame, executed in gilded copper, supported by a pedestal of gray-and-black marble. It is located near the northern end of the Pont de l'Alma, on the Place de l'Alma, in the 8th arrondissement.

It was offered to Paris in 1989 by the International Herald Tribune on behalf of donors who had contributed approximately $400,000 for its fabrication. It represented the culmination of that newspaper's 1987 celebration of its hundredth anniversary of publishing an English-language daily newspaper in Paris. More importantly, the Flame was a token of thanks for the restoration work on the Statue of Liberty accomplished three years earlier by two French businesses that did artisanal work on the project, namely Métalliers Champenois, which did the bronze work, and the Gohard Studios, which applied the gold leaf. While the gift to France was prompted by the centennial of the newspaper, the Flame of Liberty, more broadly, is a lasting symbol of the friendship uniting the two countries, just as the statue itself was when it was given to the United States by France.


On the base of the monument, a commemorative plaque recounts the following story:

"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 became an unofficial memorial for Diana, Princess of Wales, after her 1997 death in the tunnel beneath the Pont de l'Alma. The flame became an attraction for tourists and followers of Diana, who fly-posted the base with commemorative material.
