Place des États-Unis, square in Paris, France
Place des États-Unis is a rectangular square in the 16th arrondissement of Paris measuring roughly 60 meters wide and 200 meters long. It is lined with trees and features benches, grass, and several monuments depicting moments of friendship between two nations.
The square was established in 1881 after old water reservoirs were removed from the area and received its current name in honor of the United States. Over the following decades, several monuments were added, including one for American volunteers who fought for France during the First World War.
The square is named after the location of a former American embassy and reflects the connection between France and the United States. The statues and monuments around it tell this story to visitors who pass through or pause to rest.
The square is accessible from morning to evening and offers benches for sitting and open spaces for walking. You can come any time to rest or explore the monuments at your own pace without dealing with large crowds.
A monument originally displayed a bronze model of the Statue of Liberty placed there in 1885 to build support for the full-size statue in New York. This model stood for several years before being removed, showing the deep connection between the two countries.
