    In summer, you'll find Parisians eating out, playing music, and dancing on the bridge until all hours of the night.


  • Description:

    • Among the 36 bridges spanning the Seine, the Pont des Arts is without doubt one of the most romantic, its all-metal structure providing a link between the Louvre and the French Institute. This delightful little footbridge built during the 18th century has always been a pedestrian bridge. Originally, a tollgate was installed at each end, ensuring that access was only given to the upper classes.
