La Seine a rencontré Paris

The camera glides along the water and crosses the still rural suburbs, the city comes closer, we enter Paris. On the banks, life follows its quiet course. From this privileged point of view, we observe the small details that make up daily life. A simple gesture becomes a poem. A man fixes his shoe, another strolls freely. Models pose for a photographer under the amused eye of a fisherman. The lovers, of course, are alone in the world. The storm upsets this tranquility. Everyone runs for shelter. Then the calm returns and we leave Paris, the doors of the locks open on the countryside found.
