Fluctuat nec mergitur is the motto of Paris.
It is a Latin phrase meaning "She is tossed by the waves but does not sink".

Je tiens à exprimer ma solidarité avec le peuple de France et les Parisiens en particulier.

A Very Nice Quote and the Motto of Paris. Just thinking how it can be translated... maybe "Gestürzt aber nicht gefallen", maybe I'm wrong. VG HJ

A very nice pano too !

HJB thanks for the reply. I can not be helpful. The Latin motto is not easy to translate even in Italian. Maybe Alberto that he knows Latin and discreetly German could be of help.

The motto is written with the lighting on the Eiffel Tower.

«Schwankt, ohne aber zu sinken»
Bel pensiero, data la congiuntura...
Saluti, Alberto.

Giuseppe, is it a part of your panorama No. 14065?

Hello Heinz. Yes, it's a different frame on the same point of view. I do not ever repeat the pano with different frame, but in this case I made an exception.

tossed but not sunk

Here's a better one in German "Angeschlagen aber nicht angezählt".
