Idyllic Views
                                     Take the hand of the one you love for a stroll
                                     along Paris’s picturesque riverside. Along the
                                     Left Bank east of the Musée d’Orsay (p136), a
                                     delightful traffic-free stretch called the Parc
                                     Rives de Seine enjoys sigh-worthy views of
                                     two of the city’s most romantic bridges, the
                                     Pont des Arts and Pont Neuf (p94). Break on
                                     one of the benches to admire the view, or
                                     hole up at a window table in a moored barge-
                                     restaurant and let the world pass you by.
