Bridge of the Arts

A romantic spot

Quai du Louvre
Paris 75001
+33 (0)8 3668 3112 (Tourist Information)

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.
