Pont Neuf sur la Seine
Pont Neuf (Pont = "bridge"), built from 1578 to 1607, is the oldest standing bridge crossing the Seine River. It has two arched spans, one span with seven arches connecting the Ile de la Cite with the right bank of the river, and this five arch span connecting the island to Rive Gauche ("the Left Bank"). Our hotel was in this general area on the Left Bank. Large chestnut trees were in bloom along the river, and throughout Paris.
The weather did not make for the best photography on this ten day trip as it either rained every day or was extremely hazy. However, each of these conditions provided a unique moodiness.
