Pont Alexandre III, Paris: 47 reviews and 108 photos

 
 

This pretty bridge is decorated with art nouveau statues and lamps. The statues are of cherubs, nymphs and winged horses.
It was built between 1896 and 1900 in time for the universal exhibition. The bridge was named after Tsar Alexander III, father of Nicolas II.
Tsar Alexander laid the foundation stone in October 1896.
The bridge is a single span 18ft high steel arch across the Seine. From the bridge there are magnificent views of the Champs-Elysses and the Invalides.
