The bridge has become a symbol of friendship between the two countries. A bridge is thrown across the Seine, on one side it goes from the Invalides, on the other side – from the Champs Elysees. At the time of its opening in 1900, this bridge could be called a miracle of engineering, since it is single-arched and, moreover, low, the maximum height reaches only 6 meters. The opening of the bridge was timed to coincide with At the World's Fair, however, the bridge had been completed and put into service a few months earlier. In any guide to Paris, Pont Alexandre III will be named « the most graceful city bridge. Numerous sculptures, bas-reliefs give it a unique sophistication. Since 1975, the bridge has been included in the list of historically significant sites in France and is protected by law. ![]() ![]() We also recommend reading Parc Monceau in France, Paris resort Topic: Pont Alexandre III in France, Paris resort. |
