The court yard of the Musee des Arts & Metiers, and the bronze casting of the original Statue of Liberty. The Museum is worth the visitng for its exhibits relative to science. It has the original airplane that was the first to cross the English Channel from France to England.
On the quai of the Metro station of Sebastapol-St. Denis, tourists trying to find their way. After Chatelet the Metro tunnels under the Seine to Il de la Cite, then
Place Saint-Michel, and the escalator up to the lobby floor. This is one of the original and deepest of the Metro stops, and is in a giant casson. Look down th steps, across the floor to the ticket style then lift your eyes and you will see the iron plates.
This is the Place Saint-Michel, artistically not to everyone's taste. it is the beginning of the Left Bank, the Boulevard Saint-Michel (Saint'Miche) and the Latin Quarter where the original Sorbonne is located. This was also the site of fierce fighting for the liberation of Paris and memorial plaques are on the sides of the fountain to memorialize the fall French fighters.
