Where are the love locks in Paris?

Paris, city of love - where several romantic traditions attract lovers over the world. If you come in Paris with your beloved, you MUST follow the rules and put your own lock on one of the famous bridges of love in Paris!

(this page is the english translation and update of the article named "Les trois pont des Amoureux à Paris")

You can put your lock on three of the Paris bridges of love. The most famous is the "Pont des Arts", but you can also go to "Pont des Archevéchés" and "Passerelle Leopold Sedar-Senghor". Of course, all of them are in the heart of the city and accessible by metro.

How to go there?

Pont des Arts

As said previously, the Pont des Arts is the most famous but it's also a really nice spot to make a pique-nique when the weather is fine. The simple but perfect scenario would be to organise your romantic date on the Pont des Arts with a rug, a bottle of champagne, some nice "patisseries".
Metro stations to go there: Pont Neuf (Line 7) or Louvre Rivoli (Line 1)

Point A : Pont des Arts

Pont de l'Archevéché

This bridge is also the way to achieve the "Ile de la Cité", ancient cradle of the city. The nearest public transports are Pont Marie (Line 7), Maubert Mutualité (Line 10) and the RER station Saint Michel Notre Dame.

After you put your lock, you can have a nice walk in the "Ile de la Cité" and make a stop at one of the Berthillon shops to eat one of the most famous ice creams in Paris.

La Passerelle Leopold Sedar-Senghor

Near the "Jardin des Tuileries", the nearest station of this bridge is the RER station Musée D'Orsay. But you can also make a stop on the station Tuileries (Line 1), have a little and nice walk in the Jardin des Tuileries and then reach the bridge.

You probably understood that my favorite place and the one I advise you is the Pont des Arts. Nevertheless you need to know that this bridge is victim of its success: there are so many locks that their weight becomes a real problem. The Paris mayor is obliged to remove them on a regular basis to be sure they don't break the bridge. So if you want to have a change so see your lock many years later, you'd better choose a less famous one, which remains a very romantic option ;)

Et vous quel est votre endroit romantique préféré de Paris?
