Just outside of Paris to the East the Marne river flows around some Islands which kept their rual character and invites one to walk along the water. February is still winter and the air is cold and raw.
We tried to walk fast to keep warm and return to the train back to the city.
A lone fisherman prepared his bait and to see him content and bundled up, he personified the peace and quiet of the Marne area not far from busy Paris.
