I agree and just minutes from our apartment so we often walk across on the way to the Right Bank. We’re lucky to have the #2 walking bridge, the Golden Gate, in our home town.
The Pont des Arts is my favourite bridge in Paris. This elegant metal bridge, with its nine arches, crosses the Seine river and connects the Louvre with the Institut de France. The best part: it’s a pedestrian bridge. Take a leisurely stroll across the bridge in the evenings to watch the Paris lights and be temporarily blinded by the cruise boats as they pass by below!
