Pont Alexandre III

The Pont Alexandre III is my favorite sight in all of Paris. Apart from its exuberant decoration of cherubs, nymphs, winged horses, and Art Nouveau lamps, it’s also located near the brilliant golden dome and offers exceptional views of the city.

As you cross the bridge, take a look over the edge and you’ll see crowds of waving tourists floating down the Seine aboard the Bateaux Mouche.If you raise your gaze, you’ll see Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower in the distance.

Completed in 1900, the Pont Alexandre III is the longest and most monumental bridge in Paris. It connects the Les Invalides area with the Grand Palais des Beaux-Arts and the Petit Palais.

The bridge, which offers some truly fabulous views of the city, is flanked by four massive columns (17 meters high) that are decorated with bronze Pegasuses.

This is the most beautiful bridge in Paris. Built between 1869 and 1900 in time for the world expo, it is art nouveau in design and has numerous lamps, cherubs, nymphs and winged horses. It's a great piece of engineering as it is a XIX century arc 6m over the Seine. It has a great panoramic view from Champs Elysées to the Invalides.
