Directions

Mur des je t'aime, or the “I Love You Wall,” is a modern Paris landmark set in Square Jehan Rictus in Montmartre, near Saint-Ouen. Created as a public artwork, it presents the phrase “I love you” in more than 250 languages, turning a simple declaration into a symbol of peace, inclusion, and human connection. Its dark blue surface, covered with white handwritten script, makes it instantly recognizable, while the red fragments scattered across the mural are often read as pieces of a broken heart brought together. Beyond its visual appeal, the wall has become a popular meeting point and a romantic stop for visitors exploring Abbesses and the surrounding hillside streets of northern Paris.

Before you enter

  • Check current conditions, as recent reviews mention construction and partially limited access around the wall.
  • Arrive at opening for clearer views and easier photos, especially on weekends.
  • Combine your stop with a walk around Abbesses and nearby Montmartre streets.
  • Bring a camera with a wide lens; the small garden makes framing easier.
  • Wear comfortable shoes if continuing uphill through the surrounding neighborhood.

What to expect

  • Expect a compact park setting rather than a large monument or museum.

  • This is a quick stop, ideal for photos, short breaks, and people-watching.
  • The area around Mur des je t'aime is lively, with cafés, shops, and neighborhood streets nearby.

During your visit
