Swan Island, Swan Island, Île aux Cygnes, Isle of the Swans
France, Paris
Swan Island is a small artificial island on the Seine, located near the Eiffel Tower. It was built in 1825 as a dam, and now serves as the foundation for the combined Bir Hakem metro bridge. The island is 890 meters long and 20 meters wide.

At the western tip of the island there is a reduced (11.5 m high) copy of the Statue of Liberty (46 m), donated to Paris in 1889 by the Americans, grateful to the French for their statue. The Swan Alley, framed by 322 trees, runs along the island.

The island is small, in the center with a walking path and benches. It starts from the Passy Viaduct near the Eiffel Tower and ends with the Statue of Liberty. There are a lot of photo shoots near the viaduct, especially weddings. A lot of people are jogging and exercising on the simulators, which are located under the bridge at the end of the island next to the statue of liberty (the largest of those in Paris). Many different species of trees are planted on the island, there are signs indicating their names.

With so many attractions, and especially shops : ) like in Paris, you are unlikely to have time for a romantic walk around the island. And to see the Statue of Liberty, I recommend you take a boat ride on the Seine, and at the same time see the bridges. We swam in the evening, when everything is in the backlight.
