En source bridges of the heart:
Commemorative plaque on the wall of a house on the Quai des Chartrons, celebrating Franco-American friendship and the 220 years of the French Revolution.

A "Bridges of the Heart" project which erects these plaques in 40 cities visited by the 3rd President of the United States

On avenue du pont Wilson, a small discreet bronze stele was erected, erected in tribute to Thomas Jefferson, a true symbol of Franco-American friendship.

This friendship was born in particular in 1776, during the aid that France provided to the independence of the United States, against their British enemies.

Jefferson is indeed one of the main writers of the declaration of independence of the United States.

Ambassador to France, after his governorship, he will materialize the cultural and political bridge between our two countries.
