Location: Esplanade du 9 novembre 1989 formerly Porte de Versailles
1 segment
In 2006, the square Porte de Versailles in front of the Paris Exhibition and Congress Centre in the 15th Arrandissement was renamed in Esplanade du 9 novembre 1989, chute du mur de Berlin. The name change was accompanied by the erection of a Wall segment, however, which lasted until 2009.
Initiator for this was the then district mayor Jean Goujon. The segment is a gift of the Berlin Senate to its twin town Paris.
