Bonjour Paris --> Lover's Bridge (Pont des Arts)




Paris is not only the city of light , it is also known as ‘the romance capital’ and the ‘city for lovers’.   Besides than the Eiffel Tower , there is another spot that stands above the rest of the amorous Parisian locations: the Ponts des Arts. 






The Pont des Arts or Passerelle des Arts is a pedestrian bridge in Paris which crosses the Seine River. It links the Institut de France and the central square (cour carrée) of the palais du Louvre .It is build in 1804, the nine-arch metallic footbridge is a destination for couples wishing to memorialize their love.




 Lovers from near and far visit the bridge to attach padlocks emblazoned with initials and messages  .After locking the love padlock onto the fence, lovers throw the keys into the Seine river as a sign of their eternal devotion.

For couples visiting from all over the world, these locks were symbols of their everlasting love.


Look !! So many lovers wrote their name on the love locks .
