Eager to explore the city,
You step outside once more.
With each step,
You seize the magic,
Letting it guide you through its winding streets and charismatic alleyways.
Every turn delivers a multitude of charming boutiques and inviting cafes.
Parisian life unfolds before your eyes like a vivid tableau,
Each scene more captivating than the last.
The melodies of street musicians weave through the air and you catch glimpses of architectural marvels and hidden gardens along the way.
The cobblestones under your feet carry the echoes of countless footsteps.
The atmosphere gradually shifts as if the same river is whispering your name.
And there it is,
Shimmering in the distance like a ribbon of liquid silver.
Its gentle current meanders through the heart of the city.
As you approach,
The rhythmic lapping of water against the stone embankments creates a soothing melody.
You find yourself on the Quai de la Tourne,
An alluring promenade that offers a panoramic view of the river.
You lean against the stone balustrade,
Feeling the coolness against your fingertips and gaze upon the scene before you.
Lovers stroll hand in hand,
Their laughter mingling with the gentle breeze.
The bridges,
Embellished with ornate sculptures,
Stretch across the water,
Linking the banks of the river.
Their arches frame the city's beauty,
Creating picture-perfect compositions that could grace the covers of postcards.
Each bridge holds a story,
A tale of love,
Art or triumph waiting to be discovered by those who seek them.
You watch as a cluster of sightseeing boats glide by,
Their decks filled with curious travellers.
They lean against the rails cameras poised,
Capturing every detail that unfolds before their eyes.
You cross the famous Love Lock Bridge,
Your path graced by a mesmerising array of ornamental padlocks,
Symbolising the bonds that are forged in this city of romance.
