Viewpoints
"One of my favorite places for a sunset stroll. The view is always breathtaking, and the vibe is pure Parisian romance."
Paris Local
Formerly nicknamed the “Love Lock Bridge,” while locks no longer hang from the Pont des Arts, the cast iron steel structure is still as iconic as it’s always been. Constructed between 1802 and 1804, it became the city’s first metal walkway of its kind. Today, it’s still a pedestrian-only crossing, overlaying the River Seine. Connecting Quai de Conti to Quai François Mitterrand streets, the Louvre is a three-minute walk from the latter.
