I was recently in Paris for my friends’ wedding and thought it might be a great opportunity to find something to photograph for a pic of the week. I recalled that we previously posted a pic of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, so that option was out. Then, during a walk around the city, I noticed a statue of Thomas Jefferson and knew that was it!


Drawing by Th. Jefferson
First draft Monticello
The statue, installed on July 4, 2006, is right along the Seine River and across from the Musée d’Orsay. It is also across street from the Hotel de Salm.
