You can no longer place locks on the bridge, which I understand since it was causing structural…read moreissues. They put glass on the sides so people don't try anything but that made it lose all its appeal. It was interesting though to see all the other places on this bridge people try to place their locks, like lampposts, on the construction fence, etc. It seems the new 'it' place to put your love locks on is over in Montmartre at the Basilica du Sacre Couer.

The Bridge of Love?…read more My partner and I went to Paris for vacation. And while there, he proposed. It was so sweet. The Eiffel Tower in the background and everything! We wanted to go to Le Pont des Arts to add a love lock.... But we were too scared lol As we know you are not supposed to do that anymore. And let's be real here; my fiancé could not survive in jail lol Heck, I don't know how I would do in French jail lolol We decided to play it safe (in another country and all) and admire the bridge from a far. I knew if we got close, I would be tempted to break the rules lol It is a beautiful bridge. We passed right by it on the way to the Louvre. It's a famous bridge that you must at least see. If you have more will power than me, then you can walk on it lol

"The broken hearted are the bravest among us - they dare to love."…read more One of the main reasons I love Paris is how there's a story in every alleyway, around every corner, and in every cobbled stone arrondissement. Ahh Paris... L'amour est comme le vent, nous ne savons pas d'où il vient... Love is like the wind... On my way to Musée Rodin serendipity brought me to Sainte-Clotilde de Paris. A Basilica in the French Gothic Revival style. Simply breathtaking. Located at Square Samuel Rousseau in the 7th arrondissement... the Catholic Basilica overwhelms the small park opened to the public in 1857. The wonderful statue, L'Education maternelle, dedicated in 1875, faces the Basilica. The 226-feet twin spires can be seen from a mile away. And the story of Abbé Bernard Bouveresse, a leader in the French Resistance resonates here. Between the two Gothic towers, a statue of St. Clotilde watches over Paris like a latter day St. Geneviève. In the end, Sainte-Clotilde de Paris is a memorable stop on the way to the more famous landmarks. Not as legendary as Notre-Dame de Paris or as historic as L'église de la Madeleine just across the Seine, but nonetheless a masterpiece of French Gothic Revival... Love is like the wind... Je t'aime!

There's a rail in front to lock your bicycle to it. Inside is clean, cool from the A/C . Staff was friendly and welcoming . If you are not a member , it is $10 a day to use the library .

Overall great experience and would recommend if you need to use a computer for work while you travel . Very quiet too.

La Seine, Paris So…read morebeautiful to walk along the Seine River just enjoying the views after a few days at the Paris Olympics. The Seine River is 483 miles long. Starting in the north of France, it drains to the Paris Basin flowing from Paris to the English Channel. So easy to explore bridges along the river. In Paris alone, there are 37 bridges. So nice to explore.
