Visit the mini-Statue of Liberty in Paris as seen in Polanski's film Frantic. A short walk from the Eiffel Tower, it is well worth the visit, providing refreshing views of the city.

Next to the Pont de Grenelle, 1.5 km south of the Eiffel Tower.

The Council have been quick to recognise one of the city's more famous sons in erecting this statue. Born as Archibald Leach in Horfield, north Bristol, he spent his early years here before going on to become a Hollywood icon. One for Hitchcock fans and anyone who's seen North by Northwest.

Feminist, philosopher, social reformer and credited with being the Father of Modern India. He is strongly remembered for his involvement in the abolition of Sati, the immolation of widows. He died of meningitis in 1833 whilst visiting Bristol as an ambassador of the Mughal Empire. He is buried in the city's Arnos Vale Cemetery and this statue commemorates his significant legacy.

The first statue to be placed on Charles Bridge was that of St. John Nepomuk in 1623. St. John Nepomuk was arrested by Wenceslas IV in 1393 after displeasing the King. He died under torture and his body was thrown from the Charles Bridge into the Vltava. On the base of the statue are bronze relief panels depicting his martyrdom. These have become polished over time as touching the reliefs is said to bring luck and there is usually a fair queue of people testing this out.
