Came by yesterday as I was out on a long bike ride and I happened to be close by at around dinner time.
The view is even better now than it was before. There used to be very tall bushes and brambles right along the riverwall which have now since been cleared and grassed over, so you can literally sit right over the river now. Try to come around sunset, with the setting sun behind the Mercier bridge, the river swiftly running by and the best time to catch pike and other fish jumping out of the water if you happen to look at the right spot at the right time.
