An autumnal scene on the Seine River in Paris, France, captured from an elevated perspective on the Left Bank

An autumnal scene on the Seine River in Paris, France, captured from an elevated perspective on the Left Bank. The foreground features a rough concrete embankment, partially obscured by the dark branches and scattered leaves of a deciduous tree. Below the embankment, a paved asphalt path is littered with fallen autumn leaves. A large, white passenger vessel, identified as "EXCELSIOR PARIS" by text on its stern, is docked alongside the path. A French flag flies from its stern. On the upper deck, approximately 10-15 individuals are visible, primarily clad in dark clothing. Near the gangway, which connects the vessel to the path, a group of 5-7 people, some in dark formal attire, are either boarding or disembarking. One individual walks on the path away from the gangway, while another stands near a parked scooter or motorcycle further down. A small, light-colored dog is on the path near the bow of the Excelsior. Another person is seated on the ground near the base of the concrete embankment, partially obscured. Several metal barriers or bollards are laid horizontally on the paved path. The river exhibits a moderate current. Multiple other vessels, including long barges and smaller tour boats, are visible moored along both banks further upstream. A single person in a red kayak or small boat paddles mid-river, with another smaller boat visible further in the distance. On the distant Right Bank, a continuous line of mature trees displays prominent autumn foliage in shades of orange, yellow, and brown. Behind these trees, multi-story urban buildings, consistent with Parisian architecture, are visible. Several large white buses are parked along the river's edge on the opposite bank. The iconic dome of Les Invalides is faintly discernible in the far background, confirming the location along the Seine. The sky is largely overcast with diffuse light.
