Paris; Bateau Mouche, Musée d'Orsay and Canal Saint-Martin (2025)

Português:
Neste folder há fotografias de Paris dividida em três temas. O primeiro diz respeito a um passeio de barco (chamado "bateau mouche") muito tradicional entre turistas e locais. O passeio é feito entre a Pont d'Iena e a Pont de Sully. As fotos obtidas são, realmente, diferentes das feitas quando caminhamos pelas ruas. É um passeio relativamente rápido e de custo baixo. Vale mesmo a pena fazê-lo. O segundo tema trata de uma visita ao Museu d'Orsay, cujo foco principal é o movimento impressionista. Este museu foi criado a partir de uma estação de trem desativada às margens do Sena. A estrutura da "gare d'Orsay" se adaptou perfeitamente aos interesses de um museu, onde o amplo espaço interno, aberto para trens e com uma iluminação natural avantajada, possibilita uma boa visualização dos quadros e monumentos expostos. Algumas fotografias mostram o imenso afluxo de público mesmo para um mês de fevereiro. Finalmente, o terceiro assunto diz respeito ao Canal Saint-Martin, um tema também já abordado em outros folders deste site. Este canal, que inicia na Bastilha seguindo, submerso, sob os Boulevards Richard Lenoir e Jules Ferry. Emerge no Quai de Valmy e o canal propriamente dito se torna aparente proporcionando paisagens típicas onde os barcos (péniches) trafegam em conexão com o rio Sena. Tivemos a sorte de acompanhar um barco que utilizou as écluses para vencer os desníveis do canal. Almoçamos em um restaurante chamado "Au fil du vin" com comida tipicamente francesa, excelente, simples e de bom preço. O canal é um local muito apreciado pelos parisienses e, claro, pelos turistas. Durante estações mais quentes, os piqueniques nas margens do canal Saint-Martin são comuns. Um local de Paris a ser visitado e felizmente nem sempre presente nos circuitos turísticos.

In this gallery there are photos of Paris divided into three subjects. The first is related to a promenade on a boat (called "bateau mouche"), which is very traditional among tourists and locals. The trajet starts at Pont d'Iena up to the Pont de Sully. The pictures taken are indeed different compared to photos at street level. It is relatively short and inexpensive. The second theme is the Musee d'Orsay, whose main subject is the impressionist movement. This museum was created upon a desactivate train station of Paris, by the Seine river. Its construction was well adapted to a museum since its large internal space, open to trains, has plenty of light, welcome to the paintings and statues. Some photos show the immense flux of people, even in February. Finally, the third topic is related to the Canal Saint-Martin, already shown in other galleries of my site. This channel starts at Bastille and follows, immersed, the boulevards Richard Lenoir and Jules Ferry. It emerges at Quai de Valmy where the channel itself can be seen, proposing typical sceneries where boats (the "péniches") connect the Seine river. We were lucky since we were able to follow a péniche using the "écluses" (locks) to overpass the water unevenness. We had lunch in a very typical restaurant called "Au fil du vin", quite simple but with excellent French food. Canal Saint-Martin is a place well appreciated by French and, of course, tourists. In warmer seasons, picnics by the banks of the channel are common. It is a place - fortunately out of the majority of tourist guides - to be visited in Paris.
