October 2, 2011, Quai de Montebello

Notre Dame from the corner of the Quai de Montebello and the Pont (Bridge) de l'Archeveche (sorry, can't put in the accents).  The peniche (river boat) in front is permanently docked here and is a dandy place for a sit and a drink on a hot days.  Behind it you will see a bateau mouche (sightseeing boat) moving up the Seine.


This is the railing of the Pont of the Archeveche covered with locks of every size and descritption. There are two bridges in Paris where it has become the thing to do to put a lock and through away the combination or the key celebration your togetherness.  Occasionally one lock will have a piece of veil attached to it.  The other bridge is the Pont des Arts (pedestrians only) from the Place de l'Institut de France to the Louvre.
