Drive towards St-Cyprien but take the bus back (or drive back on Pont Saint-Michel, upstream). Best pictures are from taken from Quai de Tounis or the opening Avenue de la Garonette, downstairs from Rue du Pont de Tounis.

You can take your drink out in a plastic cup and drink it up on the Pont Neuf.

You'll see the city hall on your right, a few restaurants/cafes, and a few other businesses in the circle. We parked behind the restaurant by a fairly large park. We walked towards the circle, took pictures there and then took one of the alleys and explored some more. We ended up eating at the Auberge and had a great time.
