2. Pont des Arts
Paris has the Pont des
Arts as meeting point
for people in love,
friends, and tourists
A charming and
romantic place where
locks are placed to
symbolize eternal
love, the key is then
thrown at the Sena
River
3. It runs across the Sena River, between the Louvre Museum and The Institute de France

7. When I am in Paris I try to be at this bridge at sunset, enjoying the charming atmosphere,
with music and …
8. ….. And picnics, being the good election of cheese the traditional scenery
9. Finished in 1985, on seven steel arches supporting a wooden decking that is 11 meters wide
and has only seven arches instead of nine (the old one)
10. During the day its view is very nice with the padlocks shinning at the sun and also music,
picnics and people attaching locks, looking for their old ones, taken photos

16. But from all over the world couples made the same during their honeymoon
17. So at all hours in the day you can see them in different and very romantic positions
18. Nice to be there at all hours of the day, at the back Pont Neuf and île de la Cite
19. Not all is romance, also business, ( selling and buying locks )
