Paris: memories of Ile de La Jatte

The location of some of the most famous of the Impressionist paintings, Ile de La Jatte , grass lawn area overlooking the river has been eroded quite a bit by the river.  Retaining walls were necessary to prop up the banks from the rain.

 

 

 

So the famous painting by George Seurat is a memory of a by gone era. The path that was there is now closed.

 

I attempted to get the feel of the place as it is now, sitting  on a bench in front of a dog park.
