The Pont des Arts connects the Quai du Louvre on the right side of the Seine with the Quai de Malaquais on the left side and is considered as one of the most romantic places in Paris. Why? Because, until recently, thousands of lovers have sworn their love here, with love locks. At the Pont des Arts, countless of these locks were installed.
