Place de la République

At the heart of Paris, the Place de la République is anchored by a 30-foot (9-meter) tall bronze statue of Marianne, a symbol of the French Republic and its values of ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.’ This grand, pedestrianized square serves as a gathering place for national events and political demonstrations. Visitors can join locals in quintessentially French pastimes, such as people-watching from the terrace cafés that line the square. The monument and the vibrant, communal atmosphere make it a significant and lively part of the city’s cultural landscape.
