There really is a replica of the Statue of
Liberty on the tip of the Île aux Cygnes in the River Seine, and
it’s visible from the lunch level of the Eiffel Tower. I’ve exaggerated the apparent
randomness of the tower’s ironwork, but I didn’t make up the statue, which you
can see in about the exact middle of the top half of the painting.
By the way, when one of our group’s guides
asked us if we knew how to say Eiffel Tower in French, about half of us did,
but Rachel was the only one who pronounced it correctly! (So much for the
‘Calgary’ accent some of her cousins, who attended a francophone school in
British Columbia, have teased her about.)
