Pont Alexandre III

It was built for the 1900 World's Fair, and Tsar Nicholas II laid the first stone in 1896, dedicating it to his father, Alexander III, as a symbol of the Franco-Russian alliance. It is a single 107-metre steel arch, kept very low so as not to block the view of Les Invalides from the Champs-Élysées.

At each end, four 17-metre columns carry gilded statues of Fame with winged horses, and at the centre are nymphs of the Seine and the Neva. The bronze lamps with cherubs come on at dusk.
