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!

About Paris

Paris forener praktfulle boulevarder og monumenter langs elven med kaféterrasser, kunstsamlinger i verdensklasse og bydeler som føles som landsbyer.

Seinen renner gjennom hjertet av byen, forbi Île de la Cité med Notre-Dame og Sainte-Chapelle, Louvres lange fasade og Musée d'Orsay i den gamle jernbanestasjonen. Lenger nedstrøms reiser Eiffeltårnet seg over Champ de Mars, og Triumfbuen kroner Champs-Élysées.

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