in travel •  7 years ago  (edited)


The Wall of Love (French: Le mur des je t'aime, lit. the I Love You Wall) is a love-themed wall of 40 square metres (430 sq ft) in the Jehan Rictus garden square in Montmartre, Paris, France. The wall was created in 2000 by calligraphist Fédéric Baron and mural artist Claire Kito[1] and is composed of 612 tiles of enamelled lava, on which the phrase 'I love you' is featured 311 times in 250 languages.[1] Each tile is 21 by 29.7 centimetres (8.3 in × 11.7 in)[2]

It includes the words 'I love you' in all major languages, but also in rarer ones like Navajo, Inuit, Bambara and Esperanto.

The wall is open to public free of charge.

i thought there was the lock and key fence thing

That was a bridge and it got too heavy so they replaced the barriers completely with ones that don't allow for hanging of locks anymore. I'll edit that video soonish. Still 10+ videos to upload.
Thanks for watching!

I didn't know that. I could imagine tho all them locks heavy as hell. So do you travel? Is that how you found out

Yeah, we travel. We had a list of semi-hidden gems we wanted to film in Paris and the bridge was one of them but when we rock up to it turns out it's no longer the way it was :D

Many more videos to come so feel free to follow.
