Eiffel Tower and fishing people

Quay of New-York avenue, Paris
(France)

View of the Seine River from the right bank, where people are taking advantage of shade of trees and fishing with rod and line. We can see the Eiffel Tower till the second level and at its foot, the quay Branly that is used as a storage place of sand and gravel. A slow train is carrying passengers. Barge housings are moored at the quay of New-York avenue. The quay at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, has become a port of "bateaux-mouches" that suggest a promenade for discovering Paris. (P. Pellegrini)
