On the eastern side of Paris, near the Gare de Austerlitz, is Paris’ newest bridge. Named the Passerelle Simone-de-Beauvoir, in honour of the French existentialist author, philosopher and theorist, the award-winning 190m bridge spans the Seine at the site of the new national library.
From my old slide archives, a reinterpretation of a look at the Left Bank.
Looking west on a cold, wet morning.
In reviewing the photos from this trip, I found several that I never got around to editing. This is the first from that “new” group.
From the Pont des Arts, looking south, the Bibliothèque Mazarine. Established in 1643 by the physician Naudé and named for the Cardinal, France’s first public library contained nearly 40,000 items by 1652.
