The stone figure of Berlin is above the fourth plinth from the right outside Gare du Nord.

The figure of Berlin by Jean-Joseph Perraud (1865) is one of the eight larger statues on the cornice line of Gare du Nord, representing international destinations reached from Paris by this railway (at that time) as well as Paris.

 

They are from left to right:
Frankfurt
Amsterdam
Warsaw
Brussels
Paris
Berlin
Cologne
London
Vienna

 

Berlin leans with her right hand on a large shield with the city's emblem. She wears a crown and a long gown draped over her left shoulder. Her left wrist is pushed against her waist.
