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 alia grandes avenidas e monumentos à beira do rio a esplanadas de café, coleções de arte de fama mundial e bairros que parecem aldeias.

O Sena atravessa o coração da cidade, passando pela Île de la Cité com Notre-Dame e a Sainte-Chapelle, pela longa fachada do Louvre e pelo Museu de Orsay, instalado na antiga estação de comboios. Rio abaixo, a Torre Eiffel ergue-se sobre o Champ de Mars e o Arco do Triunfo coroa a Avenida dos Campos Elísios.
