Banks of the Seine

塞納河，

長780公里，總面積78000平方公里，

源於法國北部的朗格勒高原

（Plateau de Langres）

流經巴黎市中心，穿越諾曼地的魯昂，

最終流入英吉利海峡。 

巴黎塞納河畔位於巴黎市中心，

1991年被聯合國教科文组織

列為世界文化遺產。

由男爵奧斯曼（Eugène Haussmann, 

1809-1891）整頓法國首都巴黎。

城市分為左岸與右岸。

左岸文化、藝術館雲集，

右岸多為行政、商業中心。

古典建築融合现代化。

巴黎不愧享有藝術、時尚、浪漫、

花都之美譽。

沿著塞納河漫步，

看到許多停泊在岸邊的船屋。

隱約見到屋內的家具設備一應俱全。

寬敞的甲板有綠意盎然的花圃。

靜謐的水面上深居簡出⋯

多麼與眾不同的人生。

想到唐代詩人劉禹錫

〈堤上行三首》中的 

《 江南江北望烟波，入夜行人相應歌。》

似乎道出水上人家的心境。

 

The Seine,

length of 780 kilometres and a total area of 78,000 square kilometres, 

it originates from the Plateau de Langres in northern France.

It flows through the centre of Paris, through Rouen in Normandy, 

and finally into the English Channel.

Located on the Seine in Paris,

It was organised by UNESCO 

in 1991.

Listed as a world cultural heritage.

Urban transformation of the Ottoman baron 

（Eugène Haussmann, 1809-1891）

in the 19th century.

The city is divided into left bank 

and right bank.

Left bank culture and art museums gather.

The right bank is mostly for administrative and commercial centres.

Classical architecture integrates modernization.

Paris is worthy of the reputation of art, fashion, romance and the City of Light.

Strolled along the Seine River,

I saw many boathouses moored on the shore.

I can vaguely see that the furnitures and equipment in the house are complete. 

Spacious deck 

has green surroundings.

Live on board, on the quiet water …

What a different life.

Thinking of Liu Yuxi,

a poet in the Tang Dynasty.

In the " Three Songs of the Embankment " :

《 At night, watching clouds and mist 

cover the river and interaction of people by the river. 》

It seems to convey the mood of the people live on the river.
