Pont Alexandre III

  Built for the 1900 Exposition Universelle, Pont Alexandre III spans the Seine River, connecting the Champs-Élysées area to the Invalides in Paris. This ornate bridge, adorned with sculptures and gold leaf details, is considered one of the city’s most intricate examples of Beaux-Arts architecture. Unique features include its impressive 40-meter high arches and the grand lampposts that line its walkway, adding a distinctive flair to this busy thoroughfare. Whether you visit in April when the floral blooms reflect against the river or in December when the holiday lights glisten, you'll find this spot bustling with both locals and tourists. As you walk across, take a moment to appreciate the views of the Eiffel Tower and other landmarks that mark the beautiful Parisian skyline.
