6 . Paris, the capital of France, has some attractive bridges. These are four of the most beautiful bridges in Paris: some in iconic (标志性的) places you’ve seen in the movies, and others in quiet places that you’ll delight in discovering.
Pont des ArtsConnecting the Louvre Museum to the Institut de France, the Pont des Arts, first built by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1804 and reconstructed in the 1970s, is a bridge only for people walking that is beloved by tourists and locals alike. In the spring and summer months, Parisians and visitors come here for lazy picnics overlooking the Seine.
Pont MarleThis lovely but little-known bridge is a gateway between the Marais district on the right bank and a natural island on the Seine River. The current stone structure dates to around 1670, following a fire on its wooden structure that destroyed much of the original bridge and the houses that once stood on it. It has remained much the same since the 18th century, making it one of Paris’ oldest bridges.
Pont Alexandre ⅢThe Pont Alexandre Ⅲ is probably the most attractive of Paris’ many bridges. Built between 1896 and 1900, it connects the des Invalides with the gardens of the Petit Palais. It’s after dark that you can best appreciate its delicate statues and other decorative elements.
Pont NeufFirst built in 1578 by King Henry Ⅲ, Pont Neuf has seen numerous reconstructions and changes over the centuries. But it conserves its Roman-inspired arch (拱形) structures. This is a lovely bridge that offers easy and picturesque access to the left and right bank. Have some ice cream, explore the lovely riverside paths and enjoy views of Notre Dame Cathedral.

10 . Four Best Films for You
Dune
Now at last we have a big-screen Dune that may actually do justice to (恰当处理) Frank Herbert’s science-fiction novel (科幻小说). Directed by Denis Villeneuve, the film runs for 155 minutes and still only covers the first half of the book.
The French Dispatch
It’s the 10th film of Wes Anderson, a writer-director. The French Dispatch tells three short stories set in the fictional French town of Ennui-sur-Blasé, and supposedly drawn from the pages of a New Yorker-style magazine in the mid-20th Century.
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Now that Marvel’s superheroes have saved the universe (宇宙), their next job is obvious: they have to save the multiverse. In the third of the Spider-Man films starring Tom Holland, the teenager accidentally opens a door to many parallel realities (平行现实世界). “What people will be really surprised about is that it’s not fun, this film,” Holland told Total Film. “It’s dark and sad, and it’s going to be really affecting.”
Ron’s Gone Wrong
The first cartoon from a new British studio, Locksmith Animation, Ron’s Gone Wrong is a family comedy (喜剧). The film’s co-writer and co-director, Sarah Smith, said, “In our movie, Barney ends up with Ron, a robot, who’s completely broken, who doesn’t agree with him and doesn’t know anything about him, they have to build this relationship from that point.”
