Works of art to see Paris

The version of the bridge that can be observed today dates back to 1860. A first version was built here in 1833 under the reign of King Louis-Philippe, hence his name. Following the increase in traffic, construction was adapted and strengthened. It is used to connect Saint-Louis Island to Saint-Gervais, which is located behind the City Hall. Among the beautiful details are beautiful metal rosaces surrounded by stone crowns, they are located on the top of its four pillars.

The bridge of Sully bears the name of the great minister of Henri IV, Maximilian of Béthune duke of Sully. The book was inaugurated in 1877 and was designed by the engineers Vaudrey and Brosselin. It is 160 metres long and consists of three arches. The bridge is actually made up of two bridges built in the extension of each other. This rare iron book is located at the southern tip of Saint-Louis Island. It is occupied by the square Barye, a charming green space where you can make a stop during the walk.

The Invalides Bridge, built between 1854 and 1856, was built on the piers of a first bridge built in 1829. During construction, a central battery was added to ensure the strength of the work. This pile is decorated with allegorical sculptures: «The land victory» of Victor Vilain (upstream) and «The Naval Victory» of Georges Diebolt (downstream), to whom we also owe the famous Zouave du pont de l 'Alma. Note that if it bears a name that evokes the Hotel des Invalides, it is its neighbor, the Pont Alexandre III bridge, facing the Army Museum.
