The caption to the image on this page reads:
I believe I know general direction with respect to major features of Paris from the putative facts (which I take as given) that the Orly Airport is south of the city (Paris - Orly Airport) while the Roissy Airport (De Gaulle Airport) is to the north of the city. Moreover, the south rose window of the Notre Dame de Paris and the south tower which contains the Emmanuel bell are both on the side of the cathedral facing the cathedral treasury and the Seine.
If these things are true, then it must also be the case that the pont de Bir-Hakeim is located at the NORTH east tip of the Île des Cygnes, while the Pont de Grenelle must be at the SOUTH west tip of the Île, contrary to the captions on the pages for these two bridges.
Finally, if the Île des Cygnes is south of the the Eiffel Tower, then the end of the Île nearest to the Eiffel Tower must be the north end; this is the end where the Bir-Hakeim (Paris Métro) is also located.
If I have misunderstood the situation, could someone explain the problem to me?
