Once you’ve finished with your first visit, go to Montmartre (accessible after a ten-minute walk) and discover the “I love you” Wall. This work,  conceived by Frédéric Baron and Claire Kito, is built on a 40 m² area on which more than 300 “I love you” are written in 250 different languages. It is a monument dedicated to love and the symbol of a torn apart humanity that the wall intends to reunite.
