No, the real statue is in New York, USA.
The mistake may stem from the fact that Liberty was created in France by a French sculptor (it was his idea in the first place), then shipped in crates to New York where it was reassembled on its definitive location.
There are also the facts that:
- There is a (much smaller) replica of the original statue on the Ile aux cygnes (the swans' island) on the Seine river in Paris;
- The original torch, which had been replaced, has been reinstalled alongside the river Seine, near the Pont d'Iéna in Paris (most English tourists mistake the torch for a memorial to Lady Di, who died of a car crash in the tunnel below)

There is a Statue of Liberty on the river Seine in Paris. It faces west toward it's American sister. It is much smaller than the statue of liberty in New York harbor.

What gift did France give to America in 1886?

The Statue of Liberty! The l886 monument was delivered ten years too late ( even if you allow for slow transit of sailing ships).It almost goes without saying the Staue of Liberty would not have been built if not for the hammering activities- of the Newspaper bigwigs of the time such as Joseph Pulitzer. The Federal Government was in a very real sense, reluctant to get involved- the star shaped base of the statue on Bedloe"s Island ( now called Liberty Isle) was part of an old Fort. It was something of a controversial use of Federal moneys and the real ( Clinchers) were aggressive newspaper publishers. As far as known there was no popular referendum, unlike that on an unbuilt (sensibly) baseball stadium in the meadowlands the voters voted down some years ago.
