Pont des Arts

The Pont des Arts in Paris, a pedestrian bridge spanning the River Seine, is known for its stunning views and artistic heritage. A fun fact about the Pont des Arts is that it became famous as the “Love Lock Bridge.” Couples from around the world would attach padlocks to the bridge’s railings and toss the keys into the Seine as a symbol of their love. At its peak, there were so many locks that sections of the bridge’s railings became heavily weighted and had to be removed for safety reasons in 2015. Today, the bridge remains a popular romantic spot, but with a focus on preserving its historical and architectural integrity.
