Day 7: Paris (3)

Meanwhile, Cheryl was enjoying a sunny Saturday in Paris. She started her day by catching an RER Ligne C train at the Boulevard Victor-Pont du Garigliano station, which was near the quay.

Soon, she was watching a parade near the Eiffel Tower. 

Nearby, a bride and groom posed for a wedding photographer.

 A young boy played with an Eiffel Tower souvenir.

Across the Pont d'Iéna at Trocadéro, another bridal couple rushed to a photo op (or perhaps to the Mairie for their wedding ceremony).

A pedicab driver waited for a fare. 

Cheryl had been wanting to buy a striped bateau top all week, and she saw a perfect example on a passing Parisian. 

Tour buses, such as this "hop on, hop off" bus of Les Cars Rouges, were packed with weekend tourists. 

A mother communed with her mobile while her child confronted a slide on a playground.

A Peugeot dealership made the most of its lion logo on the Avenue Champs-élysées. (The logo was assembled from thousands of origami birds.)

The American Library in Paris was an essential stop for a bibliophile.

On the Pont Alexandre III, the gilded statues glowed in the midday sun.

Later, when Cheryl returned to the Quai André Citroën, she saw a man and his dog returning to a private barge that was tied up along the Seine.

After dinner on River Baroness, the two of us walked down to the next bridge for a reprise (with a closer view) of the Eiffel Tower light show.
