The "Ile aux Cygnes," which means Swan Island, sits in the middle of the Seine, on the Western edge of Paris, between the 15th and 16th arrondissements. If you want to see our local Statue of Liberty, that's the place to go. But if it's the swans you're looking for, you should come by our island -- Ile Saint Louis.
I know, I know, don't feed the birds, but I have to say that the kids love coming here with stale bread chunks.
Once walking on the right bank, I see six swans flying in formation over our island, winging their way over the Seine. Even the Parisian friend I'm walking with says, "I've never seen that before." And that's saying something.
