<\/a><\/p>\nIn 1985, the artist Christo wrapped the Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris.<\/p>\n
On September 22, 1985, a group of 300 professional workers completed the temporary work of art The Pont Neuf Wrapped. They had deployed 450,000 square feet (41,800 square meters) of woven polyamide fabric, silky in appearance and golden sandstone in color, covering:<\/em><\/p>\n\n- The sides and vaults of the twelve arches, without hindering river traffic.<\/em><\/li>\n
- The parapets down to the ground.<\/em><\/li>\n
- The sidewalks and curbs (pedestrians walked on the fabric).<\/em><\/li>\n
- All the street lamps on both sides of the bridge.<\/em><\/li>\n
- The vertical part of the embankment of the western tip of the \u00cele de la Cit\u00e9.<\/em><\/li>\n
- The Esplanade of the Vert-Galant.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
I was in art school back then and of course our class HAD to see that piece of art with our own eyes… so the teachers hired a bus and our class went to Paris to see (and walk on) the Pont Neuf.<\/p>\n
(I can hardly believe thirty years passed since then!)<\/p>\n

\nBe happy.
