Very beautiful...I like that the "Nymphes de la Seine" are rather Rubenesque! Am I to understand that the ultra shiny material is hammered copper...if so, what keeps it from forming a patina?
Theanne - I think all these shiny parts are gilded, then periodically polished and refreshed.
I wish I knew! Along with le pont neuf, this is my favourite Paris bridge. Then again, I wonder who wouldn't like it... The details on it are endless.
They are pretty!
Beautiful!
Makes me miss Paris so much I could cry. Just beautiful!
