Pont au Double

In the story · Linguini and Remy's pact by the Seine (spot identified by Sortir à Paris)

Sortir à Paris identifies this single-span bridge beside Notre-Dame as the spot where Linguini and Remy strike their pact, the young cook scrambling down the quayside stairs to fish the jar out of the Seine. Stand underneath on the Quai de Montebello and the stairs and the cathedral towers line up as in the film.

Where to stand for the photo

Go down to the Left Bank quay and shoot up through the bridge's arch toward the cathedral's south flank; early morning keeps the quay empty.
