Wall of Love, Love-themed mural in Montmartre, France
The Wall of Love spans 40 square meters and contains 612 enameled lava tiles displaying love declarations in 250 languages on a dark surface.
Artists Frédéric Baron and Claire Kito inaugurated this installation in 2000 after collecting expressions of love from numerous international contributors.
The collection includes declarations of love written in major world languages and rare dialects such as Navajo, Inuit, Bambara, and Esperanto.
The mural remains accessible without entrance fees in square Jehan-Rictus, near multiple public transportation options in the 18th arrondissement.
Red splatters across the dark tiles form fragments that, when mentally assembled, create the shape of a complete heart.

Paris combines historic architecture with cultural institutions in ways that have drawn couples for generations. The city offers a mix of 19th-century parklands, bridges spanning the Seine, and street cafes that invite lingering. From the galleries of the Louvre to the cobbled paths of Montmartre, these locations provide opportunities to explore art, history, and urban life together. This collection includes well-known landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame Cathedral alongside quieter spaces such as Parc Monceau and Square du Vert-Galant. Historic passages like Passage Jouffroy showcase 19th-century commercial architecture, while sites like Palais Garnier and Sainte-Chapelle present medieval and classical building styles. The Canal Saint-Martin and its locks offer views of the city's infrastructure away from main tourist routes. Each location contributes in its own way to Paris's appeal for travelers.
This route covers two millennia of Parisian construction history, showing the architectural layers of the city. It includes Roman remains such as the first-century Lutetia arenas, medieval structures, classical palaces, and modern constructions from the 19th and 20th centuries. Each location documents specific building phases and technical developments in the French capital. The selection ranges from well-known landmarks to less visited historical sites. The 1889 Eiffel Tower stands alongside Roman thermal bath fragments and medieval churches. This collection allows visitors to trace urban development from the ancient settlement of Lutetia to the modern metropolis and compare different architectural styles.
