Miroir d'eau
Giant shallow reflecting pool that doubles the city's riverfront facade.
For storytellers
Why Miroir d'eau matters
A thin film of water on granite creates a perfect mirror for the buildings behind. Every few minutes a mist drifts across, and on hot days children and adults splash in it. It's a lovely place to be at sunset.
Talking points
- It alternates between mirror and mist.
- Kids love to paddle in it.
- It is a favourite spot for photographers.
