Palais de Justice Footbridge, the Lyon vow

Stretched above the Saône, the Palais de Justice Footbridge links Renaissance Old Lyon to the Palace of the 24 Columns. It is here, facing the hill of Fourvière, that Lyon's lovers come to seal their promise. Padlove carries the gesture on: your lock stays here, with both your names, without ever weighing on its railings.

The story of the place

The Palais de Justice Footbridge spans the Saône to link two faces of Lyon. On one bank, the narrow streets of Old Lyon, heart of the Renaissance quarter; on the other, the solemn façade of the courthouse and its 24 columns. Between them, a walkway reserved for pedestrians, where you cross unhurried, your gaze turned toward the city.

Over time, this link became the spot for Lyon's love locks. Facing the hill of Fourvière that watches over the city, couples came here to say "forever," fastening their promise to the railings overlooking the river. The footbridge thus joined the long tradition of bridges where a vow is sealed.

Today, the promise can live without weighing on the heritage. With Padlove, your lock is sealed here, on the map, never on the railing: it carries the gesture on facing the Saône and Fourvière, without a gram on the railings, and stays legible with both your names.

Why seal your love lock here

• Seal your vow in the heart of Old Lyon, between the Saône and the Palace of the 24 Columns.
• A love lock facing the hill of Fourvière, on the spot of Lyon's lovers.
• Carry the gesture on without damaging the footbridge: your promise lives on the map, never on the railing.
