Pont Neuf at Sunset

French for "New Bridge", the Pont Neuf is the oldest standing bridge (1578) across the river Seine in Paris. An extensive restoration began in 1994 and was finally completed in 2007. Enhanced with new lighting to highlight its architectural features, no bridge in Paris could claim to be more beautiful.

The Passerelle Simone-de-Beauvoir

The Passerelle Simone-de-Beauvoir is a beautiful addition to the city and the 37th bridge crossing the Seine.

The bridge, designed with the curvy lines of a woman in mind, is meant for cyclists and pedestrians only, and is dedicated to the French author/feminist Simone de Beauvoir.

Where does the bridge lead to? The French National Library, bien sûr.
