For the 1900 Exposition Universelle, sculptor Frédéric Bartholdi created a smaller version of the Liberty Enlightening the World, measuring 2.743 meters (nine feet) and at a scale of 1/16 of the original. This version was completed in 1889 and later donated to the Musée du Luxembourg. In 1906, it was displayed in the Jardin du Luxembourg, where it remained for over a century until 2011. Since 2012, it has been located in the entrance hall of the Musée d'Orsay, while a new bronze replica has been placed in the Jardin du Luxembourg.

Its standout attraction, the Warsaw Fountain, boasts a lengthy pool, also known as a water mirror. This includes twelve fountains that shoot water up to 12 meters high, alongside twenty-four smaller fountains reaching up to four meters. Additionally, ten water arches add to the spectacle. At the pool's end nearest the Seine, twenty powerful water jets can propel water as far as fifty meters. Above this main pool, two smaller basins are connected to it by waterfalls, bordered by 32 water jets each spraying four meters high. These fountains are unique as they are the only remaining and fully operational fountains from a historical exposition. In 2011, the fountains underwent extensive renovations, including the installation of a modern pumping system.

Commissioned by a Franco-Polish committee, the Monument to Mickiewicz or Monument to the Polish Defence Epic is a sculpture by Antoine Bourdelle. The first model dates from 1909, but Antoine Bourdelle saw the inauguration of this project at Place de l'Alma in Paris, twenty years later on April 28, 1929, a few months before his death. Later, the monument was moved to Cours Albert-Ier at the western end of the side embankment along the Seine (this space was named Jardin d'Erevan in March 2009). This monument is a gift from Poland to France.
