The Place Diana (English: Diana Square) is a public square situated in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, near the Seine river.
The place is named in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales,[1] by vote of the Council of Paris in 2018.[2] The place is just north of the Pont de l'Alma Tunnel, where Princess Diana died along with two others (including her romantic partner Dodi Fayed) in a high-speed car crash at the end of August 1997.
On this space rises the Flame of Liberty, a replica of the torch of the Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World) in New York City. The statue was erected in 1989 to celebrate the Franco-American friendship. Somewhat forgotten, the Flame benefited from a renewed interest when Diana, Princess of Wales, died on 31 August 1997, during a road accident in the tunnel of Pont de l'Alma, located below the monument.
