  2. This bridge used to be laden with “love-locks”. Couples came to the bridge with special locks that were usually inscribed with their names, locked them on the bridge and then threw the keys in the river. This would presumably ensure that their love would last.

  4. Under the Equestrian Statue of Henri IV, on one side you'll see a bas-relief panel that shows a humble Henri IV bringing loaves of bread to the people of Paris after a siege. What the picture doesn’t explain is that HE was the one who had put Paris under siege!

  5. The park on the tip of Île de la Cité is called the Square du Vert-Galant. We use the word “square” in French to mean a small park but the Square du Vert-Galant is actually triangular!

About Parijs

Parijs verbindt statige boulevards en monumenten aan de Seine met caféterrassen, wereldberoemde kunstcollecties en wijken met een dorpse sfeer.

De Seine stroomt door het hart van de stad, langs het Île de la Cité met Notre-Dame en de Sainte-Chapelle, de lange gevel van het Louvre en het Musée d'Orsay in het voormalige treinstation. Stroomafwaarts rijst de Eiffeltoren boven het Champ de Mars uit en kroont de Arc de Triomphe de Champs-Élysées.

Top-ranked sights in Parijs: Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, 4th Arrondissement.
