“ | If you run at ten miles per hour, you're going to gain a four-and-a-half minute advance on her. Halt and wait here facing northwest, the third most romantic spot in Paris! | ” |

The Pont des Arts or Passerelle des Arts is a pedestrian bridge in Paris which crosses the River Seine. It links the Institut de France and the central square (cour carrée) of the Louvre Palace, which had been termed the "Palais des Arts" under the First French Empire.
From 2008 to 2015, tourists would attach padlocks (love locks) with their first names written or engraved on them to the railing or the grate on the side of the bridge, then throw the key into the Seine below, as a romantic gesture.

Trivia
- In 2015, the locks on the bridge were removed, due to safety concerns from the extra weight on the bridge.[1] Season 1 of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir was probably made before this date, as the locks are still visible.
- The locks were replaced by plexiglass panels featuring various illustrations. The plexiglass is designed in a way that makes it impossible for tourists to place locks on the fence.
