Pont de l’Archevêché Bridge
The Pont de l’Archevêché Bridge crosses the Seine River in Paris. Love padlocks fill the bridge railings, lovers write their name and that of their loved ones onto the padlocks which is then affixed to the railing. This ritual symbolizes eternal love. Prior to arriving in Paris, I had heard of this ritual and knew I had to participate in it. After all my husband and I were in Paris celebrating our wedding anniversary!
The bridge railing closest to Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris was filled with padlocks. As a result, I selected a spot on the other side of the bridge to affix my love padlock.
My hope is that when we return to Paris that it will still be there symbolizing our eternal love!
