(Last Update: 28.01.2025) So far, in my articles, I have mentioned that there are three islands in Paris, and I even explained that two of them are natural and one is an artificial island, but in this article, we go a little outside the touristic center of Paris and visit another very beautiful island. , We will get to know Île de la Jatte, that is, Jatte Island. As you know, it is one of two islands in the touristic center of Paris.
(Last Update: 28.01.2025) When I first moved to Paris in March 2012, one of the strangest things was that although there were many beautiful coastal areas along the Seine River, Parisians did not take advantage of these beauties. No matter how much I talked or said, my words must have reached the ears of the authorities, and as the years went by, the banks of the Seine began to become more active, beautiful places opened up and life started to come to life.
(Last Update: 24.01.2025) As I shared in my previous articles, there are a total of 37 bridges over the Seine River and 4 of these bridges serve only as pedestrian bridges. Here we are on one of those bridges again in this article: Passerelle Simone de Beauvoir (passerel simon dö bovuar or pasegel simon dö bovuağ). This bridge, built between Bibliothèque National de France and Parc de Bercy, is used only for pedestrian crossing.
(Last Update: 24.01.2025) Those who follow Pariste.Net know that there are a total of 4 bridges in Paris, 33 of which are for pedestrians and 37 for vehicles. In this article, we will get to know the second bridge I like the most in Paris, the Bir Hakeim Bridge - Pont de Bir-Hakeim. Between us, I like the Pont Alexandre III Bridge the most... The state of being "most beautiful" is relative.
(Last Update: 24.01.2025) Passerelle Léopold Sédar Senghor (Passerelle Solférino), one of the 37 bridges in Paris, is also one of the 4 pedestrian bridges over the Seine River. The bridge, which was first built in 1861 during the time of Napoleon and took its name from the Battle of Solférino, was later demolished and was replaced with a completely steel construction in 1961. When this bridge became deactivated in 1992, the current bridge was built in 1999 and its name was changed to "Solférino" by the former President of Senegal in 2006.
(Last Update: 24.01.2025) Although it is interesting that among the 37 bridges on the Seine River, the oldest bridge in Paris is called Pont Neuf (New Bridge), this name always reminds me of the New Mosque in Istanbul. When I was a child, I thought that the New Mosque was a new mosque with the appearance of an old mosque; Then one day I realized how surprised I was when I learned that it was opened on July 8, 1606.
(Last Update: 01.02.2025) The place we call Paris is actually a city built around the Seine River, which winds through the middle of a flat plain, and what makes Paris Paris is not its geographical beauties, but the success of humankind in building cities and most of all its aesthetic understanding. Otherwise, since they do not have a Bosphorus like we do, it is the best way to build a life around a river they have.
