París, Pont Alexandre III at night

The Pont Alexandre III was built for the 1900 World Exhibition and was dedicated to the Tsar Alexander III. It is classified as a French Historical Monument.

Because of its architecture and its geographical location, this bridge is one of the most emblematic of the capital.

Each of its ends is decorated with one monumental pylon of 17 meters of height, adorned with one winged horse of golden bronze that symbolize the success of the arts, the sciences, commerce and the industry, respectively.

The bridge Alexander III joins the Invalides, on one side of the Seine, with the Grand and the Petit Palais on the other one.

Day and night, the panoramic view is magnificent.
