Songs
Georges Brassens in the song Le Vent (The Wind) from the album Les Amoureux des bancs publics (Lovers on Public Benches) published in 1954 evokes the strong wind which blows across the bridge :
- Si, par hasard, (If by accident,)
- Sur l'pont des Arts, (On the Pont des Arts,)
- Tu croises le vent, le vent fripon, (You meet the wind, the mischievous wind,)
- Prudence, prends garde à ton jupon ! (Prudence, guard your petticoat !)
- Si, par hasard (If by accident,)
- Sur l'pont des Arts (On the Pont des Arts,)
- Tu croises le vent, le vent maraud (You meet the wind, the marauding wind,)
- Prudent, prends garde à ton chapeau ! (Prudent, guard your hat !)
St. Germain (musician) released a song called 'Pont Des Arts' in 2002
