Jolly Green Giant

Well, not that jolly maybe, but he certainly gives Shrek a run for his
money in the oversized and green stakes.

There's a whole bunch of these curious characters along the Seine side
of one of Paris' most unusual open spaces, the recentish Parc de Bercy.

It's all the more interesting for having a sexy new footbridge link
over the river to the extremely unsexy BNF (Biblioteque Nationale de
France), on of the great architectural disasters of the late 20th
century. We all make mistakes...
