thought someone was trying to fry an egg on this bridge in #Paris #heatwave #France #food

some unlucky person apparently dropped their sorbet on the Pont St. Louis bridge in Paris yesterday

it’s yellow & cream colors look a bit like an egg white & yolk smeared on the tarmac

in the background you can see a bit of the Seine River and Ile St. Louis through the yellow-painted railing
