Walking along the Seine by Île de la Cité and the Pont Neuf, which means new bridge. It looks great after it's scrubbing and restoration, but it's old.
Begun in 1578, it was completed in 1607 after delays caused by the French Wars of Religion. It is now the oldest standing bridge along the Seine in Paris.
