A Walk On and Over and Under The Pont Neuf, Paris
The Pont Neuf New Bridge is the oldest standing bridge across the river Seine in Paris, France. It stands by the western (downstream) point of the Île de la Cité, the island in the middle of the river that was, between 250 and 225 BC, the birthplace of Paris, then known as Lutetia, and during the medieval period, the heart of the city.
The bridge is composed of two separate spans, one of five arches joining the left bank to the Île de la Cité, another of seven joining the island to the right bank. Old engraved maps of Paris show how, when the bridge was built, it just grazed the downstream tip of the Île de la Cité; since then, the natural sandbar building of a mid-river island, aided by stone-faced embankments called quais, has extended the island. Today the tip of the island is the location of the Square du Vert-Galant, a small public park named in honour of Henry IV, nicknamed the Green Gallant.
The name Pont Neuf was given to distinguish it from older bridges that were lined on both sides with houses. It has remained after all of those were replaced. It has been listed since 1889 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.[

The Pont Neuf is the oldest standing bridge across the river Seine in Paris, France. It stands by the western point of the Île de la Cité, the island in the middle of the river that was, between 250 and 225 BC, the birthplace of Paris, then known as Lutetia, and during the medieval period, the heart of the city.
The bridge is composed of two separate spans, one of five arches joining the left bank to the Île de la Cité, another of seven joining the island to the right bank. Old engraved maps of Paris show how, when the bridge was built, it just grazed the downstream tip of the Île de la Cité; since then, the natural sandbar building of a mid-river island, aided by stone-faced embankments called quais, has extended the island. Today the tip of the island is the location of the Square du Vert-Galant, a small public park named in honour of Henry IV, nicknamed the Green Gallant.
The name Pont Neuf was given to distinguish it from older bridges that were lined on both sides with houses. It has remained after all of those were replaced. It has been listed since 1889 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture. As early as 1550, Henry II was asked to build a bridge here because the existing Pont Notre-Dame was overloaded, but the expense was too much at the time.
The mascarons are the stone masks, 381 in number, each being different and which decorate the sides of the bridge. They represent the heads of forest and field divinities from ancient mythology, as well as satyrs and sylvains. They are copies of the originals attributed to the French Renaissance sculptor Germain Pilon (1525–1590), who also sculpted the tomb of King Henry II of France and Queen Catherine de'Medici in the Basilica of St Denis, five kilometers north of Paris.
At the point where the bridge crosses the Île de la Cité, there stands a bronze equestrian statue of king Henry IV, originally commissioned from Giambologna under the orders of Marie de Médicis, Henri’s widow and Regent of France, in 1614. After his death, Giambologna's assistant Pietro Tacca completed the statue, which was erected on its pedestal by Pietro Francavilla, in 1618. It was destroyed in 1792 during the French Revolution, but was rebuilt in 1818, following the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy.
The last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, Jacques de Molay, was burned at the stake on March 18, 1314, on the Île aux Juifs, a small island in the Seine just west of the Île de la Cité. The execution was ordered by Philippe le Bel (Philip the Fair) after Jacques retracted all of his previous confessions, which outraged Philip. The Île aux Juifs was joined to the larger island when the Pont Neuf was built.
Between 1712 and 1719, replacing an earlier one, a large pump house was built on the bridge. It was decorated with an image of the Samaritan woman at the well. As a result, the structure (which included a carillon) was named La Samaritaine. Years after it was torn down (in 1813), Ernest Cognacq, a 19th-century merchant, set up a stand on the site and gradually grew his business to what became, in 1869, the (recently closed) department store La Samaritaine.

Paris : cadenas de l'amour, le Pont Neuf pris d'assaut
En 2015, pour éviter au Pont des Arts de ployer sous le poids de milliers de cadenas, que les amoureux du monde entier accrochent en symbole d'amour éternel, la Mairie de Paris avait remplacé les grilles du pont par des panneaux vitrés. Aujourd'hui, c'est le Pont Neuf qui est pris d'assaut par les amoureux.

This video shows being stuck in traffic near the Samaritaine store by the Pont Neuf in Paris, France on a Friday evening. Tired shoppers wait for their bus, the old department store building is still impressive but sooty, people are honking their horns in frustration even though honking car horns is illegal in France (unless it's life or death), and our famous changeable weather, which has been full of storms, sunshine, rainbows, and cool weather (all normal for this time of year, especially the coolness) show some dramatic Paris grey. The husband and wife who established Samaritaine had no children and were philanthropists, and I have some videos up of the Cognack-Jay art collection in a mansion in Le Marais you might enjoy.
We went to see an old movie (by Fritz Lang, The Lady in The Window I think it is called) for an 8 pm showing, which is rare for us to do because we are not go out on a Friday evening people. I saw chic people out to dine, homeless people looking very desperate, and I kind of wished I had the type of spouse who'd take me out for an elegant dinner at least once per season, but I don't; so okay. (He prefers travel, my cooking and he pays our bills on time, so I really have no complaints. I have a tendency for extravagence.)

Lucienne Delyle - Sur les quais du vieux Paris
Quand doucement tu te penches
En murmurant : « C'est dimanche,
Si nous allions en banlieue faire un tour
Sous le ciel bleu des beaux jours ? »
Mille projets nous attirent,
Et dans un même sourire,
Nous refaisons le trajet simple et doux
De nos premiers rendez-vous.
REFRAIN
Sur les quais du vieux Paris,
Le long de la Seine,
Le bonheur sourit,
Sur les quais du vieux Paris,
L'amour se promène
En cherchant un nid.
Vieux bouquiniste,
Belle fleuriste,
Comme on vous aime,
Vivant poème !
Sur les quais du vieux Paris,
De l'amour bohème,
C'est le paradis.
Tous les vieux ponts nous connaissent,
Témoins de folles promesses,
Qu'au fil de l'eau leur écho va conter,
Aux gais moineaux effrontés.
Et, dans tes bras qui m'enchaînent,
En écoutant les sirènes,
Je laisse battre, éperdu de bonheur,
Mon cœur auprès de ton cœur.
Sur les quais du vieux Paris,
De l'amour bohème,
C'est le paradis.
