Pont Alexandre III bridge

Pont Alexandre III, one of the most iconic bridges in Paris, is not only renowned for its ornate design and stunning views but also for its historical significance. The bridge was inaugurated in 1900 for the Exposition Universelle (World's Fair) held in Paris that year. A fun fact is that it was named after Tsar Alexander III of Russia to commemorate the Franco-Russian Alliance. The bridge’s elaborate sculptures, including nymphs, cherubs, and winged horses, were designed to symbolize the friendship between France and Russia. Moreover, Pont Alexandre III is a popular filming location, having appeared in movies such as "Midnight in Paris" and "James Bond: A View to a Kill."
