Pont des Arts

In the story · Amélie decides to help others

After secretly returning a box of childhood treasures to its owner, Dominique Bretodeau, Amélie walks across this wooden footbridge toward the Louvre, overcome by a sudden wish to help everyone around her. The bridge links the Institut de France and the Louvre; the love padlocks were removed in 2015 and the railings now have glass panels.
