Stop by Pont Alexandre III

Posted on 16th March 2012 by

Paris is packed full of history, churches, museums and so many more monuments, and amongst them is the Pont Alexandre III Bridge. This bridge is a massive tourist attraction, and hence a must-see when you’re visiting the city. It’s stretched across the Seine River, and is one of the best looking and ‘over the top’ bridges in Paris. It’s decorated impressively with nymphs, winged horses and cherubs, and looks back on the incredibly artistic past of Paris. It has a very Art Nouveau look and is a must-see for art lovers and history buffs.

 

As well as a great tourist attraction, it’s also a relaxing way to take in history. You can have a leisurely stroll across the famous bridge, which has been featured in many tv shows and films. It’s even been in an awful lot of music videos, and is chosen as a venue because of its beautiful appearance
