Île des Cygnes
L'île des Cygnes, ou île aux Cygnes, anciennement digue de Grenelle, est une île artificielle sur la Seine, située à Paris, la capitale française.
L'île, longue de 890 mètres, est particulièrement étroite puisqu'elle ne mesure que 11 mètres de large. Elle fait face à la Maison de Radio France sur la rive droite, et au Front-de-Seine sur la rive gauche.
A notable feature is a one-fifth scale replica of the Statue of Liberty, 22 meters high and facing west in the direction of its larger sibling in New York City. This monument, which was inaugurated by French President Carnot on 4 July 1889[1] (nearly three years after its counterpart), was given by the Parisian community living in the United States to the munipality of Paris, commemorating the centennial of the French Revolution. The statue initially faced east, toward the Eiffel Tower, but it was turned west in 1937, for the exposition universelle hosted by Paris that year. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Sabine, your associative kind of mind is working very subtle as always. "cars on the road.. like busy ants" - how good you said!O.

"It derives its name from an earlier Île des Cygnes which was attached to the Champ de Mars in the late 18th century." (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).O.

great vantage point (i've never been up there!) and view! love how the cars on the road are creeping towards us like busy ants, and how everything is "dipped" in a hazy bluish green! wonder why it's called "ile de cygnes", though – seems an awfully small habitat for the poor parisian swans ; ))… greetings, sabine.
