pedestrian bridge in Paris which crosses the River Seine. Originally build between 1802 and 1804 under
Napoleon Bonaparte as the first metal bridge in Paris. It was reconstructed in the 80s due to damage caused
from aerial bombardments during World War I. Nowadays, the Pont des Art is recognised around the world as
the bridge of romance or the love lock bridge. Couples will engrave a padlock with their names, attach it to
the bridge, and then throw the key into the River Seine as a romantic gesture of their committed love. Just
like love lock bridge, the AHLEM Pont des Art sunglasses are architecturally exquisite. The frame is
slightly chunky in design but because it is made from acetate it sits lightly on the face. AHLEM Pont des

Champ de Mars is named after a large public greenspace in the seventh arrondissement of Paris and located
just in front of the Eiffel Tower. Traditionally, the Champ de Mars was used for gardening, and plots were
allocated to citizens to grow fruits, vegetables, and flowers to sell at the market. In the late 1700s the
École Militaire was constructed – a complex of buildings containing a number of military facilities. The
grounds were subsequently used as the marching grounds of the French military. It is fitting that the area
was named to pay tribute to the Roman god of war. Nowadays, a birds-eye view of its current form reveals
gardens and paths with an organic symmetry. AHLEM’s Champ de Mars sunglasses are available in Sydney!
