I have a paradise

Chapter 668: Paris

The Pont des Arts in Paris is very close to the Palace of Versailles. After passing through the south exit of the Crystal Pyramid Square, you will arrive at François Mitterrand Avenue on the Seine River. Wang Yi led Nie Wei along the riverside road not far away. Walk to the Pont des Arts.

This is a beautiful street. On the left is the Renaissance-style art palace, the Louvre, and on the right is the picturesque scenery of the Seine. It is pleasant and refreshing.

While enjoying the beautiful scenery on both sides of the street, Wang Yi and Nie Wei were talking, laughing and chatting. It didn't take long for them to walk to the bridgehead of the Pont des Arts on the north bank of the Seine.

The Pont des Arts in Paris, located on the Seine River and across the north and south, was built in 1804. It was bombed and destroyed by German forces during the two world wars and was finally rebuilt in the 1980s.

In 1804, in order to connect the French academies and art galleries on the north and south banks of the Seine, Napoleon, the then Emperor of Gaul, ordered the construction of this pedestrian-only bridge.

In the past one or two hundred years, this was just an ancient bridge for pedestrians. Although it has a long history, it does not have much romance. It is just a very ordinary wooden bridge on the Seine!

This pedestrian bridge is planted with many shrubs and green plants, and there are benches for pedestrians to rest. It is a great place to watch the beautiful scenery of the Seine River and its banks, as well as the scenery of Xidi Island on the east side.

Because of its unique location, this bridge is known as the'Art Garden in the Sky' on the Seine River. This is the relationship between it and art and the reason for its name!

But at the beginning of this century, Federico Mocha wrote a novel "I'm Sorry, I Love You" because of a famous love book. This ordinary bridge has only risen to fame and has gradually developed into one of the most romantic sights in Paris.

In "Sorry, I Love You", the protagonist hangs a lock with a name on the Roman Miovio Bridge and throws the key into the Taber River to represent eternal love.

With the popularity of this book of love, the trend of padlocks first rose in Rome, and then swept across Europe and the world.

The most famous of these is the Pont des Arts in Paris. After a few years of work, all kinds of locks that symbolize love are hung on the Pont des Arts, and there is almost no gap!

The number and weight of the love locks hanging on the Pont des Arts were so large that they even crushed part of the bridge, forcing the Government of Gaul to remove a large number of love locks to relieve the pressure on the Pont des Arts!

Even many scenic spots in China have this kind of trend. Wang Yi has visited many domestic scenic spots, and basically there are places with such padlocks.In particular, the tops of famous mountains and rivers such as Huangshan and Taishan are covered with concentric locks that symbolize love.

The tradition of Europeans chaining locks on bridges began in the early twentieth century to commemorate lovers who died in wars and place their thoughts on them. This tradition has been maintained over time.

Because of the love locks hanging on the bridge, the Pont des Arts in Paris is also called the "love lock bridge".

For couples in love, hanging a'love lock' symbolizing eternal love on the Pont des Arts in Paris and throwing the key into the Seine is undoubtedly a very romantic thing.

After knowing the meaning of these locks, Nie Wei couldn't help but pull Wang Yi to hang a lock here. This is the first time Nie Wei, who has always been the image of a royal sister, made this gesture, Wang Yi The heartbeat accelerated for several beats.

As soon as he walked to the bridge, Nie Wei's eyes were beaming with excitement, wishing to rush to the Pont des Arts immediately, ready to hang up the concentric lock she just bought, and then throw the key far into the Seine!

When Nie Wei hung the concentric locks, Wang Yi thought in his heart how he would pad the locks. Is it necessary to connect one lock and one lock in a string?

After hanging the locks, the two of them were quickly attracted by the beautiful scenery of the Seine.

The turn of summer and autumn is one of the most beautiful periods of the year on the Seine.

The sparkling, crystal-clear Seine river reflects the shadow of the Louvre. The river flows quietly, passing under the Pont des Arts in Paris, and then flowing into the distance, gentle and poetic!

On both sides of the Seine, there are many historical buildings built in various eras and various artistic styles, including Gothic buildings, Renaissance-style buildings, and Baroque-style buildings.

Buildings of various styles are lined up one after another, like a chronicle of western architecture. The variety of styles and the exquisite architecture are dizzying!

It is these historical buildings that truly reflect the long history of this city, and also add a lot of cultural flavor to the Seine, making this river more moving!

The Pont des Arts is called the Art Garden in the Sky, of course for its reasons.

Standing on the Pont des Arts and looking far away, you can see the Eiffel Tower standing on the Champ de Mars on the south bank of the Seine River, and you can also see the Luxor Obelisk standing on the Place de la Concorde filled with ancient Egyptian characters!

Looking east, you can see the island of Seine in the center of the Seine. You can clearly see the Gothic tower of Notre Dame de Paris. Of course, this is a past tense. After all, the fire that burned last year was called a miserable one. Notre Dame de Paris burned more than one-half. The 800-year-old building was almost burnt in a fire. Only one year later, the Gaul government has not decided how to repair it.

Looking from far and near, on the north bank of the Seine, also known as the right bank of the Seine, is the famous Louvre Museum, a veritable art palace.

A little further away on the left bank is another famous museum, the Musée d’Orsay, across the river from the Louvre. It is known as the'most beautiful museum in Europe' and displays countless dazzling top art works!

A little closer to the Voltaire Riverside Road, there are many cafes dotted around, each with its own characteristics, very emotional and full of literary atmosphere!It is said that in these cafes on the left bank of the Seine, many artists or writers like to find inspiration. For example, Hemingway, Sartre, Picasso, etc. have all stayed here.

Like the Louvre, the cafe on the left bank is a business card of Paris. It is the spiritual home of the artist. The coffee on the left bank stimulates people's inspiration and activates their thinking.On the left bank of the Seine River, coffee is combined with literature and art, and coffee is connected with creation and personality. Of course, whether this is effective or not depends on people. The great god is a great god even if he has never been here. Even if the street lives here, it is still rushing to the street.

Wang Yi didn't like coffee. He wanted the waiter to give him a pot of tea. Finally, the waiter brought him black tea that Europeans like, and it also added milk and sugar...
