You might be inclined towards fancy bridges, so pay attention to the most beautiful ones. The Pont Neuf is the oldest bridge in Paris. It crosses an embankment to a small island. At any time of day you will see plenty of boats there. The Pont Des Arts is also popular in Paris. It is for pedestrians only and is completely made of metal. It is a common meeting point for Parisians.

Sure, you cannot physically hunt the gargoyles that protect the eaves of the Notre Dame, but you can take beautiful pictures of them.
The gargoyles are the symbols of the Notre-Dame and were made in order to prevent water pouring from the roof of the building on a rainy day. So, the gargoyles, besides adding gothic intrigue, also serve a practical purpose, decreasing potential damage to the Notre-Dame’s walls.
The sculptures became a real piece of art by themselves and were made in grotesque style.
Many visitors are curious how the name “gargoyle” was invented. It comes from a French word meaning “throat,” which is fitting considering that the gargoyles “swallow” drops of a rain.
At the same time, many use the word “gargoyle” to describe a monstrous sculpture. For instance, the French legend “Gargouille” represents the main character as a monster with the ability to make fire with its throat.
Gargoyles are also found in literature. Victor Hugo depicts them in his famous novel “The Notre-Dame de Paris”. So, take a picture of that historical sculpture.

You may find a lot of interesting shops while walking down the Champ-Elysee Avenue or while wandering in the Latin Quarter, which is not far from the Notre-Dame.
