Some notes from the Île aux Cygnes, or Isle of the Swans, a small man-made island on the Seine. At 850m long and 11m wide, it’s the third largest island in Paris.

It’s mainly known as host since 1889 of the quarter-size replica of the Statue of Liberty. There’s an attractive tree-lined walkway, a workout space and climbing wall. On this late morning, some joggers, dog walkers and a handful of day sleepers.
