Walking around the 6th
We then had over an hour in the area before meeting up at the end of Rue Seine.
I clearly had misheard the directions and after 30 minutes I realised that I was going in completely the wrong direction.
Luckily, Valerie had sent a pin via WhatsApp and with the help of Google Maps (and some very fast leg work) I made it just in time for when we were supposed to meet.
Pont des Arts
From the meeting place we crossed to the Pont des Arts over the Seine. This was a wooden bridge for pedestrians (mainly). Valerie had warned us about the folks who were pester us to sign (random) petitions immediately we walked on the bridge. They were there in force pushing clipboards and asking everyone to sign.
We spent a lot of time on the bridge photographing the passers-by.
At the end of the bridge I watched people below on the banks of the Seine.
There was a busy guy selling drinks from his bicycle-stall.
After the bridge we crossed over the very busy road.
