Sunday Walks: Along The Seine River In Paris (Video)

Filmed: February 14, 2021

The river Seine flows right through the heart of Paris bordering 10 of the 20 arrondisements. It was no accident that the city evolved around this gigantic avenue for commerce and transportation, or that the early Parisi tribes on the river’s island were attacked and overthrown by the Romans. This early coup took place on what was later to become some very prime real estate. At that time the river was called by it’s Latin name: Sequana. The river is still the chief commercial waterway and half of the water used in Paris still comes form the Seine. Don’t think about that when you look at the sick green water flowing under the bridge, or when your waiter brings you a glass of tap water.

Sailboat Racing: ‘Luna Rossa Italy vs INEOS Team UK’ In 2021 Prada Cup Final

There’s plenty of intrigue as the Italians and British square off for the right to challenge Team New Zealand for the America’s Cup.

The Prada Cup final starts on Saturday with Luna Rossa taking on INEOS Team UK with the first team to get seven wins qualifying to take on the Kiwis.

Have the British sorted out their light-air issues? Can the Italians really handle the sort of pressure that Sir Ben Ainslie is sure to apply, especially if the winds nudge the upper limit of 21 knots? Will the bad blood that is simmering between the two syndicates boil over with the stakes so high?
