We found a refuge for swans. These big beautiful birds have chosen a place under the Sully bridge. Sully's bridge is named after the Duke of Sully Maximilian de Bétune, who was the head of the French government under King Henry IV. This historic figure was honored by Baron Osman, who actively rebuilt the capital. The bridge is originally located at an acute angle on the shore. Thanks to this, it offers a good overview of the promenade islands of Saint-Louis and the Notre-Dame-de-Paris cathedral.
It was a brightful day. We walked through the squares and parks of old mansions, visited the Picasso Museum, the art galleries, had lunch at the Place des Vosges, visited the Place de la Bastille and completed the walk by the princely and quiet boardwalk of the River Seine, where live swans and peace reigns.
