It was nice weather and walking along the Seine River was not a bad experience. It was also a good way to look around the city in slow motion, see the crusing ships passing and try to guess along which part the Princess of Wales,Lady Diana really died. It was fun! Actually, we were from the Notre Dame du Paris treading our way to reach the Musée del'Armée. I don't remember exactly the route we took but being new to the city, everything I saw was interesting. Below are someof the selected views while strolling along the River Seine in Paris.Before that, some trivia first. I learned that the name "Seine" (la sen), which is the name of the river came from the Latin word "Seuana" which construed to mean "sacred river". Many contested this origin of the river's name though. River Seine expands itself to 776 kilometers or 486 miles, yes, that's thelenthsof the Seine River in Paris. Within Paris, there are 37 rivers and a dozen or so outside the capital.
The other side is packed with those heavy-set buildings...
Whose head is this? It's sculpted in one of the many bridges of Seine and we were thinking it's Bacchus'
head but I cannot confirm it. Anybody who knows whose head is this in a bridge of Seine, please
let us know as well. Thanks in advance. And why is it there? Very interesting...
Alittle graffiti behind... I think it says, "Wild"...
If you look closely, aside from he scenery behind, the bridge has letter "N" in it. Does it mean "Napolean" or something? Any idea? The bridge scultures are actually puzzling me all the time!
Here you see the letter "N" emphasized. Who has the idea what does this letter N means in oneof the
bridges of river Seine? Please impart your knowledge and educate the world... :=) Thank you...
