No. Paris was liberated by the US First Army, General Courtney Hodges commanding. A French Armored Division was allowed to be first in town. Photographs of American troops parading down the Champs Elyssee in battle dress, with the Arc de Triomph in the background, are the US Fourth Infantry Division of the First Army. They marched straight through town and reentered combat on the far side. Patton's Third Army was the neighbor to the south of the First Army.

General George S. Patton commanded the 3rd Army, but they didn't liberate Paris. It was the French 2nd Armored Division under General Jacques Leclerc.
