Taking a cruise along the River Seine is one of my favourite ways to see the architecture of the city. It is hard to know where to point the camera. Heading back towards the Eiffel Tower I took this photograph of the Institut de France. This is a prestigious French learned society that oversees five academies focused on arts, sciences and humanities. Founded in 1795, it is situated on the Quai de Conti in Paris’s 6th arrondissement, directly across the Seine from the Louvre museum. The bridge on the left of the photograph is the Pont des Arts footbridge.
Taking only photographs – leaving only footprints
