Parking in Pont des Arts

Perhaps one of the most romantic places in Paris, this bride links the Institut de France with the world-famous Louvre. So you want to park close to the centre of the action in Paris, in of the most visited cities in the world? Well, let us just tell you that finding on street parking here won’t be easy, with Paris’ 2 hour parking limit, and the sheer lack of spaces makes it pretty difficult to find somewhere, and let’s just say that the competition can be fierce. 

So why don’t you get your day of sight-seeing in Paris to a relaxing start and book your parking space in one of Parclick’s great value Parisian car parks. Just take a look at the map to see which car park suits you! 

The Pont des Arts

Built under Napoleon, this seven-arched bridge was built by Louis-Alexandre de Cessart and Jacques Dillon. In 1975 it was declared a national historic monument, and then in 1991 UNESCO declared the whole area of the Parisian riverfront a UNESCO World Heritage Site, therefore including the bridge. 

But what makes this bridge pretty special is something that you probably already know about, but you don’t know where it is - this is the bridge with all the padlocks of couples expressing their undying love for each other! Now although the Parisian government doesn’t want any more people to leave padlocks, so they are now encouraging for people to take selfies with the existing collection to document their trips! Take in the view of the Ile de la Cité, with the Eiffel Tower in the background.

Want to check it out then you can get there from the Quai François Mitterrand, the Quai Malaquais or the Quai de Conti.
