New York or Paris?

Does it look familiar? 


I'll give you a hint: this one appear to be standing over the balconies of a building facing the Seine...

  

We've seen the first replica at the Jardins of Luxembourg back in September.
This one, near the Grenelle Bridge, on the Ile aux Cygnes, is much bigger even though, compared to the Tour Eiffel in the background, it looks tiny. 

  

 There are two dates on the tablet (I'm not sure you can see them from the picture): the USA Declaration of Independence (July 4th, 1776) and the Storming of the Bastille (July 14, 1789).



We are on a quest now, to find the other two (a replica and the flame) around Paris....to be updated.
