Beautiful night shot, but this part of the bridge is the Pont au Change, with a view of the Théâtre du Châtelet. The Pont Saint-Michel is on the other side of the Île de la Cité.
VP, Thank you for the correction. I learned something new about the bridges of Paris today! I depend on all of you to help me with this and my French as well! V
There is something very pleasant about this scene, Virginia. I can't put my finger on it. It is simple and yet your central and lit place is warm. I would enjoy strolling around and coming upon this scene.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Beautiful!
I can feel the ambiance Virginia.
PERFECT SHOT! Anita
do you see the letter "N" on the bridge? Have not done any research but if I remember it correctly... it refers to Napoleon III?
I do love the way dusk seems to linger in Paris, putting its soft glow on the Seine and all of the city.
What a great capture of this familiar landmark area.
Lovely ..
Love the lights.

Time to make your plans for the evening ahead . . . in Paris. Sigh.
