Along The Seine

Wednesday was our last day in Paris… and we decided to take a walk along the Seine. Paris is famous for its many bridges and the shore of the — pretty dirty — river are quite nice. We even took the boat from St Germain, to the Louvre, the Champs-Élysés and the Eiffel Tower for more sightseeing.

The Pont Neuf and the small shops (usually bookshops) along the Seine.

Damn, it’s hard to look at these pictures from my igloo! Yes, I’m back in Ottawa…

  1. Hi Zhu,

    Welcome back!

    I take it you’re well rested and no airport delays this time.

    You did not notice protesters camping out in the streets of Paris, along the St Martin Canal, or the building fronting the Bank of France? Anyway, they would have no place on this travel photo album you’ve been updating quite nicely since you left for France.

    By the way, what’s their impression of President Sarkozy and his new wife Carla Bruni? :-) –Durano, done!

  3. Oh well all good things come to an end they say… Still plenty of beautiful pictures to show for it right? You know it is good that your Zhuness takes such vivid pictures otherwise my world would be a much bleaker place visually:).

    Keep your memories close to your heart till the next time…

    And with those crumbs of wacky wisdom I leave your blogging kingdom once more your Zhuness!!!

    Take care!

  5. Welcome back. I hope you had a great time in your vacation. Even if it had a bad start…

    I like your Paris Seine pictures. I guess most of the cities in Europe are centered around rivers, the Danube in Budapest, the Vltava in Prague, the Danube in Vienna again, the Thames in London, the Tiber in Rome, and the list goes on and on.

    And yes, those bodies of water have the boats that could ferry the tourists from Point A to B.

    So, is it back to reality and work for you?
