Bois de Boulogne

Paris, France

“Two Trees” (240 cm), a symbol of love and unity, is a gift from Swedish industry to the people of Paris and was inaugurated in 1996.

The Swedish industrial holding company Investor and the Wallenberg family wished to emphasize the historical importance of the relation between France and Sweden through this donation.

Prominently placed on the tip of the small island in the “Lac Supérieur”, this symbol of Love has become a favoured resting, rowing and contemplation place for Parisians and love birds alike.
