This bridge was destroyed in 1848 during the French Revolution, but rebuilt by Baron Haussmann from 1876, who thus contributed to finishing the edifice we know today. Built in two sections, this bridge stands at the far end of Ile Saint-Louis. The southern section is comprised of three cast-iron arches, while the northern part is in stone. Another trace of history: at quayside you can read the inscription - "1910" - indicating the level reached by flooding in January 1910.
Built at a 45° angle to the river banks, the bridge offers one of the French capital's most beautiful views of the quays at Ile Saint-Louis and Notre Dame Cathedral.
