Inaugurated on
the occasion of the 1900 Universal Exhibition and classed as a historic
monument, the Pont Alexandre III is one of the most emblematic bridges in Paris
because of its architecture and location.
At its four
extremities are huge 17 metre-high pylons crowned with gilt bronze sculptures
of winged horses representing the illustrious Arts, Sciences, Commerce and
Industry.
Pont
Alexandre III connects the Invalides on the Left Bank to the Grand Palais and
Petit Palais on the Right Bank.
From the
bridge you can enjoy a sweeping view of these buildings as well as the Eiffel
Tower and over the Seine, which makes it a popular place for a stroll at any
time of day or night.
