PARIS—A scaled-down replica of the Statue of Liberty began its trip from France to the United States on the back of a flat-bed truck on Monday, retracing the journey made over a century ago by its big sister, which now looks out over New York Harbor.
The replica, which stands at 2.83 meters (9.3 ft) tall, is being loaned by a Paris museum to the United States for 10 years to cement Franco-American friendship.
