The stone figure of Frankfurt is above the furthest left plinth outside Gare du Nord.

The figure of Frankfurt by Gabriel Thomas (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

Frankfurt wears a gown slung over the left shoulder and a crown. Her left wrist is pushed against her hip. She is leaning on a large shield with her right hand.
