Not gonna lie, we were very confused. On the Ile Saint Louis, on the southeastern tip, at the bottom of the quai, we spotted what looked like a significantly sized turtle. Was it alive? A sculpture? Had anyone called Animal Control? Did the nearby swans vex it?
We did not get too close to the turtle, since it was surrounded by those damn swans and honestly I worry more about being attacked by them than by a bear. But then, on another day strolling past, we saw it again. At that point I did a deep dive on the internet and discovered that yes, it is a sculpture, but it is made of wood and floats, which is why it appears to be alive. Very clever.

| But compare it to the swans. A big turtle, if not a giant one. |

| On another day. But it's moved...a little. |
