Reviews

Amazing art on the historic bridge! I walked across Pont Neuf during the temporary iceberg installation by the artist JR. It was absolutely brilliant! The idea of creating such a massive artistic display on a historic bridge is truly unique and so typical of Paris. It looked incredibly cool and stylish. I love how…
