HD photos of the River Seine in Paris France - Page 1
As you will see from these high definition pictures we took, there is one tourist attraction in Paris that you will come across numerous times while visiting different monuments, which is the River Seine, and this of course is due to the fact that this river travels through the centre of the city, but one great benefit is that you can find many different landmarks that are right next to the River Seine, so taking one of the river cruises has become a very popular way of doing some sightseeing without all the normal walking.
