Pont de Sully

Pont de Sully

This is one of the few cast iron bridges
remaining in Paris today.  Built (rebuilt, actually) by
Haussmann in 1876, Pont de Sully is actually two bridges
connecting the eastern tip of Ile Saint Louis
with the banks of the 4th and 5th arrondissements.

Bateaux sur la Seine

Boats on the Seine

Dwarfed by the large Yacht de Paris, 

the classic sleek wood bateau stole my heart.

One can imagine the same scene

fifty years ago....

La Seine - Préfecture de Police

Patrolling the Seine

There was a police presence in all areas,

including the waters of the Seine.

This police boat was in a hurry

La Seine et des Bateaux

The Seine and Boats

In warm, sunny weather living on a boat

 moored on the Seine seems like paradise.

I will have to remember to check out

 this scene in winter as well

Quai de Bourbon

A View along the Seine

The narrow strip is shared with the trees

showing the new leaves of spring.

A single flaneur has the space to himself...

le bateau rouge

the (big) red boat

Le Batofar (bateau-phare)

This big red boat has a story:

Le Batofar ignited the "night club on boat" trend in Paris. This lighthouse boat (in French bateau-phare) offers an original setting on the bank of the Seine in the 13ième. It is known for its progressive musical programming which champions cutting edge electro bands live, and its renowned DJ-driven afterhours dance parties. During the day, Batofar is also a community gathering that serves as a restaurant, café and a summertime "beach" hang-out (Paris-Beach). (Wikipedia)

I wish that I could say we partied here...

Changement de saison - la Seine

It is almost spring and all across the hemisphere
