Pont des Arts
Yesterday afternoon, I took the Metro the Louvre area and simply walked a
little around. I also went to the Pont des Arts which is probably one of the
most popular bridges in Paris. Touristes like to go there to attack padlocks,
with their first names written on it, to the railing of the bridge and to throw the
key into the river. It is supposed to be a symbol or gesture of their love.
Later on, I spent some time sitting on the riverbank of the Seine just to
enjoy the nice weather and to take some pictures as well. Many people
were having picnics there, playing music, chatting with their friends or
simply laying in the sun. It is definitely a really nice place to relax and
I will go there again as soon as possible!
Around 8 pm I went back the residence where I met with roommate.
One hour later we left to meet up with two girls from Canada and Belgium.
Together we went near Bastille to go to bar and had a really nice evening.
We had to leave around 12 pm though to make sure to catch the last metro!
Summing it up, it was a really great day. :)
