Works of art to see Ile-De-France

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 «Arcades du Lac» and the «Viaduct», two sets of dwellings, were born from the imagination of the Catalan architect Ricardo Bofill, and were erected between 1972 and 1980 in the district of Sourderie. Their release from land then paid the column and made a lot of ink, outrage or enthusiasm. The architect Ricardo Bofill is part of the post-modern current born in the late 1960 s, in response to the modern movement represented by Le Corbusier, and to a certain uniformity that limits architecture to functionality. These two sets, which revolutionized the idea of collective and social housing, are composed of a series of small concrete housing complexes: The Arcades, designed as a French garden, have 74 apartments, the Viaduct, nicknamed the "Versailles of the people", comprises 220 apartments. They are located along the Artificiel artificial Basin - a mirror for the Viaduct - and today offer interesting testimony of the post-modern architectural current.
