Home of the Pont Neuf NYT: A Look at the Latest Parisian Art Installation


The Pont Neuf, Paris’s oldest bridge, is making headlines again in 2025 with an exciting new artistic transformation. The world-renowned street artist JR is paying tribute to Christo and Jeanne-Claude by launching a spectacular immersive installation called Projet Pont Neuf.

Pont Neuf’s Artistic Revival in 2025

Set to take place in September 2025, the Projet Pont Neuf installation will turn the bridge into a gigantic cave-like structure, symbolizing the origins of Parisian architecture. Inspired by the quarries that provided the city’s historic stone, the project will feature large rock formations emerging on the bridge, creating a surreal, dreamlike experience both day and night

.

This event is particularly significant as it marks:

  • The 40th anniversary of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Wrapped Pont Neuf project (1985).

  • The 90th birth anniversary of both artists, born on June 13, 1935.

  • The 20th anniversary of "The Gates" in New York and the 30th anniversary of the Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin

    .

What This Means for Paris and Visitors

Paris has a long tradition of public art interventions, and JR’s tribute continues this legacy. Similar to Christo and Jeanne-Claude's philosophy, the installation is designed to be temporary, free, and open to personal interpretation

.

With Paris already being a hotspot for art lovers, Projet Pont Neuf will add to the city’s vibrant cultural calendar and attract millions of visitors, much like Christo and Jeanne-Claude's original Wrapped Pont Neuf did in 1985​

.

Final Thoughts

If you're planning to visit Paris in September 2025, don't miss this extraordinary transformation of the Pont Neuf! Not only is it a tribute to legendary artists, but it also reinforces Paris’s role as a hub for ephemeral, thought-provoking public art.
