Rive Gauche


The Seine river is up by some 4 meters, which is rather dramatic. Not so bad as the 8 meter rise which had inundated the Metro in 1910.


Note that the Eiffel Tower is on the Left Bank. One looks toward the river's
flow, and assigns handedness from there.

I can say that - from Saint-Jean sur Richelieu - I am on the left bank of the Richelieu river!!
