River Seine and its bridges

by OrlandoBR - last update: Dec 10, 2002

The new pedestrian walkway: le Passage Solférino

Two bridges in one

Pont Neuf - La plus romantique

The Pont Neuf, linking the banks of the Seine and crossing the Ile de la Cité

Pont des Arts - la plus belle

One of the most beautiful bridges of Paris is a pedestrian iron walkway.

Pont Alexandre III

The most impressive one

One of the many pedestrian passages...

Le Pont Neuf - in winter

The "New Bridge" is the oldest among the bridges or Paris. In the past, all the bridges had wooden houses and lots of commerce going on (they resembled Ponte Vecchio in Florence). At the Carnavalet Museum (in the Marais), there are numerous paintings of what Paris looked like a few centuries ago, and the bridges surely looked a lot different.

 The worst hotel. It isn'tas shown on photos and video. Cubicle, smelly rooms, rude staff. Front desk was not allowed to call a shuttle to airport because they only sell Air France bus. Stay in somewhere else to avoid wasting your money

 You have some great restaurant tips. They will come in handy for my upcoming Paris trip.
