The planned programme for 10 Sep 2013 got disturbed, as we had to spend lot of time to Re-visit Eiffel Tower. Hence we did not have sufficient time to Visit Central Paris, after Visit to Notre Dame Cathedral. So, we decided to utilise the available time for a River Cruise. It turned out to be a good decision, as we thoroughly enjoyed the Cruise on River Seine.

The Pont Neuf (French pronunciation: [pɔ̃ nœf], New Bridge) is the oldest standing bridge across the river Seine in Paris, France. Its name, which was given to distinguish it from older bridges that were lined on both sides with houses, has remained. It stands by the western point of the Île de la Cité, the island in the middle of the river that was the heart of medieval Paris.
The bridge is composed of two separate spans, one of five arches joining the left bank to the Île de la Cité, another of seven joining the island to the right bank
