Percée en 1784, dans le mur des fermiers généraux ( comme en témoigne les deux pavillons symétriques de Claude Nicolas Ledoux, visibles sur les deux cartes postale suivante) la vieille place d’Enfer prit le nom de l’héroïque et courageux défenseur de Belfort, le Colonel Denfert-Rochereau, en 1878. A cet emplacement, coupant le mur, la barrière d’Enfer avait été édifié a l’endroit ou débouchait la route d’Orléans marquant l’entrée de la capitale. Le mur des fermiers généraux, érigé pour contrôler l’entrée des marchandises frappées de taxes dans la capitale, était percé de 47 entrées associés chacune à un pavillon d’octroi ou logeaient les contrôleurs de la ferme.  Les fouilles et les inspections des douaniers exaspèrent le public qui proteste contre cette enceinte. « Le mur murant Paris rend Paris murmurant ». Seul quatre barrières furent sauvegardées: celle du Trône, de la Villette, de Monceau et enfin, la Barrière d’Enfer. Un des deux pavillons abrite aujourd’hui l’inspection générales des carrières ainsi que l’entrée des catacombes édifiées dans le quartier au cours du XVIIIème siècle.

C’est de la Statue de la Liberté éclairant le monde du sculpteur Français Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi dont il est ici question. Cette une statue modèle réduit de la statue de la Liberté que l’on trouve au pont de Grenelle. Pont qui fut complètement refait par les ingénieurs Vaudrey et Passon en 1875 en remplacant les arches en bois par une charpente métallique. Avant de commencer le titanesque ouvrage que celui de construire la statue de la liberté (celle de New York) sur la butte Montmartre de Paris, Bartholdi avait d’abord façonné une maquette en plâtre de 11 mètres 50 en 1885. Gustave Eiffel participera au projet et construira la charpente métallique de cette ouvrage monumental. C’est la version coulée en bronze de ce modèle en plâtre inauguré en 1885 qui est placée à l’extrémité aval de l’Île des Cygnes à la hauteur du pont de Grenelle. Cette statue fut offerte à la France par les citoyens français établis aux États-Unis à l’occasion du centenaire de la Révolution. Inaugurée le 4 juillet 1889 la statue aurait du être tournée vers l’ouest face aux Etats-unis comme le désirait son sculpteur. Il aurait été effectivement plus normal que la statue de la liberté eu le visage tourné vers les États-Unis faisant face à la Seine éclairant de son phare symbolique ceux qui par cette voie, pénètrent dans la ville en leur souhaitant la bienvenue. Mais dans ces conditions il aurait alors fallu procéder à la cérémonie depuis un bateau et la fête aurait alors eu des airs de régates, ce que refusa catégoriquement le président Français Sadi Carnot au nom de la République.

L’oeuvre en bronze d’Auguste Bartholdi, porte le nom de la Liberté éclairant le Monde, et mesure 11 mètres 50 et pèse 14 tonnes. C’est la parfaite réplique au 1/4 de sa grande soeur de New York.
