Pont Alexandre III Reviews
 A tour of Paris from a smart bridge Nov 27, 2007
This bridge is my favourite in Paris. It is named after the Tsar Alexander III, who gave the bridge to the French for the Universal Exhibition to celebrate their friendship, as the Franco-Russian alliance was concluded in of 1892. The bridge was built between 1896 and 1900.
It spans the Seine, from the Champs Elysées quarters (Petit and Grand Palais) to the Invalides. It is very well ornate: lamps, statues, cherubs, nymphs, horses... the details are impressive. Once you are on the bridge, you can see the Invalides, the Eiffel Tower, the Concorde, the Grand Palais... ^^ Made of steel, it is 40 meters wide and 160 meters long, with one arch of 107 meters.
