Riding alongside the Bir Hakeim Bridge (which is slightly left and out of the picture), is the statue of Jean d'Arc, entitled La France Renaissante. It was created by Danish sculptor Holger Wendekinch. To the right, and also out of the picture, is the iconic Eiffel Tower. Paris is such a fascinating city. I found the quaintness of the apartment buildings in the background just as Parisian as Sacre Couer and Notre Dame. With so many bridges (37) over the Seine, beautiful sculptures all around, architecture to be admired and landmarks to see, the need to rush seems imminent. But don't. It would be too easy to miss the smaller details - like oddly picturesque balconies.
