Ponts De Paris (Les)

H Carre Hermes Paris > Automne - Hiver 1989 / 90

Just before World War I, poet Guillaume Apollinaire imagined the flowing Seine "weary of the everlasting gazes" of lovers on the Pont Mirabeau. In the 1950s, a stone soldier carved on the Pont de l'Alma sereved as a measure of the river's raging floods. In 1989, the bridges of Paris are still alive with art and excitement, as ever-new as the ancient Pont-Neuf Silhouettes of history immortalized in silk.
