The Archbishop's bridge or Pont de l'Archevêché is one of the bridges that tourists have latched love locks onto in Paris for years. Of recent times, moves to prohibit love-locking on Parisian bridges on grounds that they might collapse and are harming the environment from the rust that goes to the wire mesh and the keys thrown into the Seine have become louder.
Luckily, on our trip to Paris last year, we were able to do our own cliche gesture at the Pont de l'Archevêché. It's more picturesque for me with the Notre Dame behind and a few blocks away, we were already perusing books at Shakespeare and Company. I'm not proud to be a possible pollutant or to be as common as a typical tourist but hey, it's not common to be in Paris with your partner too.
Comfortably single or coupled or even undecided, I hope you're spending this Valentine's weekend just the way you want. In my case, I will be happy not to be stuck in traffic!
