Pont des Arts

What a magical place. So I have been multiple years and multiple times to this exact place. I would recommend going in the early morning if you’re into taking cinematic romantic pictures. If you want other pictures videos of this particular place, take a dinner cruise. If you’ve never done it before and you’re at the stage of life where you really just want to enjoy scenic Paris. Take it at 8 pm. I really enjoy this bridge because walking to it and then to Napoleon’s tomb is a wonderful walk and just nice.. It’s a lot of history and quite frankly just beautiful. We also went this year on July 14 so we saw all of the military parade fanfare. Very interesting way to experience Paris.

🔐 Love Locks 🔒 ❤️ 💕 Pont des Arts is one of the most romantic spots in Paris, known for its countless love locks. Compared to Pont Neuf, there were definitely more locks here, creating a unique atmosphere full of memories from couples around the world. My wife and I didn’t attach a physical lock, but we left our "lock of the heart" here—a promise that our love will last forever. It was a quiet but meaningful moment for both of us. If you’re visiting with someone special, I highly recommend walking across this bridge. The view over the Seine and the feeling of leaving a part of your love behind make it a truly memorable place.!

I love to take a pensive, leisurely stroll along the bridges of the Seine. The bridges over the Seine are all beautiful and poetic, but the Pont des Arts is one of the most poetic. As I look at the people gathered at the Pont des Arts, I imagine their beautiful lives.

This bridge of lovers is amazing! A good spot to take lovers' or couple pictures. There was an ice cream court at the end of the bridge, try it! But for your own safety don't leave locks on the bridge, it is not allowed anymore and the police may charge you.

A bridge made for photos, romance, and love locks — though most of them had to go before the whole thing collapsed. Now it’s more of a chill spot with great views of the Seine and the Louvre. Perfect for a break, a sit-down, or just watching boats (and tourists) float by.

Pont des Arts is one of the best spots in Paris for sunset, with a clear view down the Seine and the city lighting up around you. It connects the Louvre to the Institut de France, and the open walkway gives you plenty of angles for photos, though you’ll need a bit of patience to snap a clean shot. As the sun dips, the golden light on the river and rooftops is worth the wait. It’s the kind of place where you can pause, breathe, and take in the beauty of the city without needing to rush off, making it one of the simplest but most memorable stops in Paris.

Good spot in Paris for couples, strolling hand in hand over the Pont des Arts with the Seine glistening below and the city’s iconic views all around felt magical. We took our time, snapped some photos, and just soaked in the romance of Paris.

The Pont des Arts (French pronunciation: [pɔ̃ dez‿aʁ]) or Passerelle des Arts ([pasʁɛl -]) is a pedestrian bridge in Paris which crosses the River Seine. It links the Institut de France and the central square (cour carrée) of the Palais du Louvre, which had been termed the "Palais des Arts" under the First French Empire.
