Paris information help

I was watching a Globetrekker on Paris and it mentioned a Bohemian bridge that connects the left bank and right bank where musicians hang out. Does anyone know where this is?
Thanks,
Mike

That would be the passerelle des Arts (often called the pont des Arts) near the Louvre.

However, it is starting to lose ground to the passerelle Simone de Beauvoir, which opened last year between the Parc de Bercy and the Bibliothèque François Mitterrand. It is especially popular among Parisians who have seen enough tourists for the day.

Kerouac,
Thanks,
Does the passerelle Simone de Beauvoir, have musicians and other artists hanging out there also?

At the moment, it is a major picnic spot. Artists and musicians will come there when there is tourist money to be made -- not yet.
