Le Pont des arts - "In recent years, many tourist couples have taken to attaching padlocks with their first names written or engraved on it to the railing or the grate on the side of the bridge, then throwing the key into the Seine river below, as a romantic gesture. This gesture is said to represent a couple's committed love."
Yesterday I told you I was in love with Paris. Today I thought I would share that I am also in love in Paris. So as we
strolled the magnificent places from the Eiffel tower and the Rive Gauche and down Saint Germain we eventually came accross the Pont des arts. As is the case for so many things for us, without looking we found. We purchased a padlock, red as our passionate love for each other and matching perfectly with the dapper Marc's coat and hat I might add. Of course! Finding a spot with the view we liked the best, we sealed our bond of love forever with a kiss while each threw a key into the Seine.
Is it kitchy and touristy? I don't care. I think the world needs more places like the Pont des arts, which is a demonstration that love is alive and well in the world.
To tell our story, we must begin by saying that we found each other without even looking. We didn't need to come to Paris to be in love. We just invited it in and life took care of the rest.
Namaste,
Bianca
