Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

You can no longer place locks on the bridge, which I understand since it was causing structural issues. They put glass on the sides so people don’t try anything but that made it lose all its appeal. It was interesting though to see all the other places on this bridge people try to place their locks, like lampposts, on the construction fence, etc.

It seems the new ‘it’ place to put your love locks on is over in Montmartre at the Basilica du Sacre Couer.

There are many bridges crossing the majestic River Seine ,most every one of them historic bridges but Pont Des Arts is a modern bridge that was built on the spot of a former metallic pedestrian bridge constructed between 1802-1804 under the government of Napoleon Bonaparte and was the first metallic bridge in Paris ,damaged during World War One and World War Two plus multiple collisions by barges and a subsequent collapse the new bridge was constructed between 1981-1984 ,it's a great looking bridge that offers great views of the River Seine and the wonderful architecture of the Left Bank and Right Bank and Île De La Cité ,the views of Institut Des Arts are amazing ,it's just a great bridge to check out if you're in this area of Paris near the 6th Arrondissement .

This place which has Pont Neuf as it's neighbour and with the Louvre, a stone's throw away is a great place from which to take in Paris. The views of the Seine are great and there are benches along the bridge. Though the bridge is no longer laden with love locks, you will find the odd one or two around the lampposts.

Great experience, great view of the Eiffel and just a chill place to be. The walk was short from our hotel to the Eiffel Tower and it just lovely to see the love locks.

Between 1802 and 1804, under the government of Napoleon Bonaparte, a nine-arch metallic bridge for pedestrians was constructed at the location of the present day Pont des Arts: this was the first metal bridge in Paris. The bridge as it is today was started in 1981 and finished in 1984. The views of the Institut de France and the Seine are pleasant from this bridge and there are benches on the bridge upon which you can relax and take in the scene.

This is a beautiful bridge that links the Louvre to the Academie Francais. They have replaced the iron railings with glass to prohibit tourists from placing locks on it, for safety reasons. The views ore impeccable.

I understand hanging a lock here is no longer allowed. It’s still fun to walk across a bridge demonstrating an abundance of declared love and watch the barges passes below. Plenty of benches are present so you can savor the views. This gets five stars for its uniquely charming nature and story. Feel the LOVE!

Pont des Arts is a lovely pedestrian bridge over the Seine River. At one entry side of the bridge is the Institut de France, and at the other side is the Palais du Louvre. The bridge is famous for all the love locks placed on it by thousands of visitors over time. As the weight of the locks took its toll and became unbearable for the bridge and dangerous to pedestrians, all the locks were removed. The views from the bridge are quite lovely and it is worth a visit.
