Pont de bir is the iconic bridge where many a spy thriller and every second movie based in Paris is shot. What is interesting about the bridge is that it provides one of the best views of the Eiffel. Remember 7 years back getting a shot of the lights twinkling there at very high exposure and it looked beautiful. When we visited then, we never knew when next or whether at all we would come back being that far away. Now we are close and the pandemic still doesn’t allow us to visit place like we would like to. You never know what the world has in store for you. Love each day like it would be your first. Wide eyed like a kid catching a glimpse of a colourful balloon. Enjoy whatever is it that you have access too. Life’s too short, let’s enjoy what we have! Btw the statue on the bridge at this angle reminded me of don Quixote tilting at windmills. Beautiful isn’t it!
In front of the Eiffel, towards the right away from the tourists is a little park where locals can be seen exercising or lazing around. Since it is summer when we visited, we too lay down and watched the tower change colours in the twilight. From this weird angle it’s impossible to capture the entire tower in a single frame but we tried because we had nothing else to do.
Arc de triomphe honours the people who died in the French Revolution and Napoleonic wars. I was expecting a building more in the scale of arches or monuments in other countries. But as you come close you realise the building is absolutely massive. People standing on the top look like tiny ants. We were lucky to visit on the day the streets were closed and there were fewer tourists courtesy Corona and it being very early in the morning. We walked on the main road stopping every few minutes to catch a glimpse of the building. Personally I’ve never been a fan of vanity projects but do enjoy the ones already built :)
The Musee D’Orsay has a beautiful clock which overlooks the river Seine and if you stand at the right spot you can look through it and watch the jardin des Tuileries where the week we visited they had a fiesta with a Ferris wheel which made for a pretty picture. #paris #france #travel #photography #travelphotography #travelgram #photooftheday #instagood #wanderlust #instatravel #adventure #trip #picoftheday #traveling #travelling #explore #vacation #beautiful #instagram #likeforlike #photo #holiday #traveller #bhfyp #travelblogger #inditourists #tripoto #sonyalpha #sonya6300
We decided to avoid the Louvre courtesy the potential crowds and instead visited Musee De Orsay which turned out to be equally crowded. French museums usually have no path to follow which is disconcerting for people like us who usually take an audio guide and follow a path ensuring we don’t miss something important. This featured here is the sculpture of archer Hercules by Antoinne Bourdelle. Beautiful to see in person, the experience is enhanced by this museum created in an old railway station. Imagine the beauty of the times. Simply beautiful!
Eiffel at night is a beautiful sight. More beautiful when they switch on the twinkling nights. The last time we came, we had to travel a bit to capture this. This time we could see it right out of our room. This pic though is from the garden behind the Eiffel. It’s a most magical spot where people celebrate birthdays and picnic till the lights are on. It was built as a monstrosity the city of Paris did not want, today it’s the landmark people come to visit. Art, culture and architecture sometimes takes ages to be appreciated. Don’t let people’s judgement away you; You always need to think a little different to create history! #paris
