Bridge near the moat and views towards the Cité

The river gives you the best stage for the skyline.

Route

  • Start in the Bastide; wander to Pont Vieux.
  • Cross slowly; look upstream for reflections.
  • Follow paths along the banks towards the Cité.

Note: Post‑rain evenings bring mirror‑like surfaces.


Simple, scenic, and the photos are automatic.
