Pont Des Arts stands tall as a symbol of love and connection bridging both sides of the river. Take a moment to peruse Bouquinistes, where book and print sellers have lined these quays for centuries. Their treasures offer glimpses into past eras while Ville-d Avray by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot transports us to idyllic landscapes surrounding this beloved waterway.
