Seine river divides two beautiful parts of Paris. Much here are the stationary ships - cafes and hotels and houses on the water. For the rich - luxury. For the poor - ordinary barges.

A little different Seine - before the storm.

 

Batobus - a water bus - a regular line by the Seine.

 


Polish accents
Over the Seine river came Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński, a brilliant interpreter of French writers, to bought a books from the riverine secondhand bookseller. Over the Seine also came poet Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska with her dolorific lost love. In the Seine made a hole in the water Bronisław Piłsudzki, an outstanding ethnographer - brother of Józef Piłsudzki, the great restorer of Poland after slavery. Above the Seine river banks, at Pont Neuf bridge met one's a death Piotr Curie, the husband of Maria Skłodowska-Curie, the Polish twice Nobel laureate. About the Seine wrote Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński, Juliusz Słowacki and Kazimierz Wierzyński.
