From Dusk to Nightfall: The Romantic Seine River in France

The Seine River cruise combined with the live animation of the Eiffel Tower's sparkling lights is truly chill in real life compared to photos. Having visited countless famous night scenes, I thought I was 'numb,' but witnessing the Seine River in person is truly deserving of its reputation. Despite Paris's notorious issues with dirty water, thieves, and poor sanitation, they cannot overshadow the romanticism of France. The best viewing spots along the Seine River are marked on the map, especially the bridge opposite the Orangerie and Tuileries Garden. Walking towards the Eiffel Tower is a delight. Parisians gather by the river to sing and drink, making autumn the perfect time to capture beautiful photos from the bridge at Concorde Square, especially during sunset. On both sides of Notre Dame, there are Shakespeare bookstores, cafes, and bars. I find the architecture appealing, though it gets a bit chaotic later in the evening. France is a place with obvious flaws, but once visited, it always beckons for another trip. I used to think the French were among the most 'arrogant' globally, with insufficient English proficiency. However, compared to other European countries, France has the cultural, artistic, historical, and natural landscapes to be proud of. This is also a sentiment shared by foreign friends, who say the French believe they have everything they need within their own country: fashion, art, cuisine, wine, mountains, and coastlines.
