I pulled queen of pentacles/2 of wands/5 of pentacles

1. It's Pont de l'Alma; as you can see, the major figure seems to be looking down from a higher structure (which can be extrapolated to a bridge); 2 of Wands is also symbolic for "bridge, gate, tunnel" because of the two pillars; although technically I think 5 of pentacles symbolizes the entrance in the tunnel here ( a darker card).

It is also very impressive to consider the next stop on Seine after Pont de l'Alma is Pont des Invalides (think of the invalid in the 5 of pents)

2. 2 of Wands is a card of accidents and sudden change of temper, as health card. Waite wrote about one of its possible meanings (if I remember correctly, rev): “Between the alternative readings there is no marriage possible; on the one hand, riches, fortune, magnificence; on the other, physical suffering, disease, chagrin, sadness, mortification.”

quite fitting! it also takes us to the next meaning

3. 2 of wands is a place of meeting, it symbolizes a couple and a love meeting, a date

4. You can see the Rosicrucian symbol there, Rose Cross Lily, with Lily being the emblem of France, la fleur-de-lys. As a Golden Dawn, Waite was quite immersed in Rosicrucian symbols.
Lily with Cross is also a symbol of mourning and:

love:

"Roses & Lilies - in the “Pictorial Key,” Waite writes: "Beneath are roses and lilies, the flos campi and lilium convallium, changed into garden flowers..." The Latin words are from the Vulgate (Latin) Bible, the Song of Songs, Chap 2, Verse 1, “I am the Rose of Sharon, the lily of the valleys. As a lily among the thistles, so is my love among the thistles, so is my love among the maidens” - so the words are translated as Rose of Sharon and Lily of the Valley. So that is the ultimate source of the symbolism. "

Love, romantic meeting.

and the analysis may continue, just a few thoughts.

EDIT: 2 of wands is also a symbol of royalty (added to the queen here)

another interesting observation: the similarity between the Flame of Liberty and the emblem on this card (also a cross based symbol) and the connotation with the globe: international, franco-american "bridge".
