 Pont Alexandre III Nov 06, 2009
We loved this beautiful bridge, probably the most beautiful bridge in all of Paris, from our opinions. We even had some of our wedding photos taken on this bridge. It crosses over the River Seine. And offers views of the Seine River, The Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides, and Grand Palais.
There are large sidewalks on either side of the bridge with traffic going both ways in the middle. It is one of the most decorated bridges in Paris.  Part of the Paris, France November 2009 travel blog |

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.

My first morning in Paris! Well, my first in about 25 years that is.... the city sure smells and sounds the same so far.

Mus ée D'Orsay was a railway station once upon a time, and has now been converted into floors of arts, portraits and furniture. Yep, what they call as the Belle Epoque section. One can find… Sightseeing in Paris: Rodin Museum, Orsay Museum and Eiffel Tower |
