Parc des Buttes Chaumont
Suspension bridge
This suspension bridge leads to a large rocky cliff with a 32 meter waterfall. The nature of the bridge construction means that there is a sway as these people walk to and fro.
If you are afraid of heights this might be one to avoid.

Hello Genie:
ReplyDeleteThis is one we shall most certainly avoid! And the very mention of its swaying....!
Swaying notwithstanding, it looks like a very interesting bridge. And a very interesting location.
ReplyDeleteIt would not worry me but I would never get my husband across there :-) Bonne journée. Diane
ReplyDeleteNo place for vertigo here Genie.
ReplyDeleteI have already been to the Parc des Buttes Chaumont,but how is it possible that I have missed this bridge?
ReplyDeleteI don't like heights, but this looks like a very strong bridge, so.....
ReplyDeleteI notice not too many people are actually looking down.Interesting patterns made by the construction.....and of course it's red!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend Genie,
Ruby
It's such a beautiful sunny day there and your picture is great!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a nice weekend dear Genie,
hugs

As if Paris weren't enough to make a girl giddy!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to visiting this area..will even consider crossing the bridge!
ReplyDeleteYou've said enough for me to know that I wouldn't be walking on that bridge. The height alone would scare me not to mention the swaying. Yikes! :)
ReplyDeleteit took all I had to go up the Eiffel Tower, but it is a great photo!
ReplyDeleteOh no. This one is not for me. I really don't like heights. I don't even like heights in movies.
ReplyDeleteI would love this.
ReplyDeleteWhen I return to Paris perhaps I can get a shot from the other direction or even looking down.
ReplyDeleteRuby, thanks for noticing the red and I failed to mention it. That is probably why the shot appealed to me in the first place.
I imagine all of you who are a bit queasy might be unhappy if I were to jump up and down in the middle. I really do not think that any Parisians would ever imagine acting the fool on a bridge such as this.
In the US we would have to have warning signs that this bridge might be of danger to those with certain conditions and we would absolutely have safety guards. Can you imagine if the Seine were in the US and we would have to have guard rails right on the banks.... hummmm
Hope that you all have a delightful weekend.
Bises,
Genie
You won't get me on t his thing. Yikes!!!

Oh.. a suspension bridge, eh? :) I'd have to be dared to cross it, i think! I can feel my belly flipping a little just seeing it in the picture! Great photo though.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great looking bridge. I think I could brave the walk across it.
ReplyDeleteThe best photo I ever saw of this bridge! :-)
