Benjamin Franklin was the first American celebrity in Paris! Long before the city became a favorite destination for Americans, it had already fallen in love with one.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When Franklin arrived to negotiate France’s support for the American Revolution, he deliberately dressed differently from the French court. While aristocrats wore powdered wigs and embroidered silk, Franklin chose simple clothing to reflect the ideals of the new American republic.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Parisians couldn’t get enough of him. His portrait appeared on medallions, snuffboxes, and decorative objects throughout the city. That’s what 18th-century celebrity looked like.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
250 years ago this week, Franklin was the oldest delegate to sign the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

As the United States marks its 250 years of independence, it’s an ideal time for Paris Muse to celebrate the enduring relationship between our two nations.

Most people know that the Statue of Liberty was a gift from the French people to commemorate the countries’ alliance, 100 years after the American Revolution. But in what other ways did France contribute to America? And where can you see traces of those exchanges today?

We asked our guide Matthieu Creson, a Parisian born in Philadelphia! With a Franco-American father and a French mother, he’s naturally interested in the two nation’s shared histories. As he notes below, Paris in particular was the site of many events crucial to America’s founding.

Most people know the Statue of Liberty in NY was a gift to the U.S. from France. But did you know that Paris was where it was conceived and constructed? Fittingly, it has several Statues of Liberty of its own.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can spot a 1/4 model version of the monument on the Seine, another in the Luxembourg Gardens, and even a copy inside the Musée d’Orsay. The Musée des Arts et Métiers displays one of the original maquettes used by the artist Bartholdi. They’re all lasting reminders of a friendship that has linked France and America for more than 250 years.
