The French began building this bridge in 1895 during the Presidency of Sadi Carnot. It connects the 15th and 16th arrondissments. There are three arches and the principal arch has a span of 93 meters. Interestingly, there are four allegorical statues. The one seen in the photo on the left is the symbol of "Paris".
Bernie and Rosemary-
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if you are having a very educational time in Paris. However are you drinking any new wines? Your blog seems to be woefully short on those details! LOL

Beautiful bridge! I've signed up twice to receive an e-mail when you write a new blog, but haven't been notified. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
ReplyDeleteMiss you!
