The enchanting “Le Pont des Arts”, a beloved bridge in Paris, gracefully crosses the Seine River, connecting the illustrious “Louvre” to the “Institut” on the western bank, near the entrance of the “Quartier Latin”. As you feast your eyes on the scene, an intriguing sight catches your attention on the right side of the picture – a towering skyscraper boasting an exquisite Art Deco design. It seems that the iconic “Empire State Building” has crossed the Atlantic and found itself momentarily lost in the enchanting streets of Paris.

An exquisite architectural style known as the ‘Haussmannien’ emerged in Paris between 1850 and 1870, characterized by its magnificent buildings adorned with long balconies. Typically, these structures grace the wide avenues masterfully designed by Baron Haussmann himself. However, what perplexes the mind is the presence of such a unique ‘Haussmannien’ building in an unexpected location: nestled along the illustrious 5th Avenue, just beneath the towering Empire State Building.

The terrace of Saint-Germain’s castle is a balcony of 2 Km long with an outstanding view on Paris from 15 Km. We can even see the Eiffel Tower (like in New-York).

“Le Blaireau” is this little fishing boat from La Trinité sur Mer in Morbihan, west coast of France. No one knows how he came to Paris but that’s a fact, “Le Blaireau” is passing by Le Pont des Arts.
