Pont Alexandre IIIJoseph Cassien-Bernard, Gaston Cousin

Inaugurated in 1900 for the Exposition Universelle, this bridge symbolized Franco-Russian alliance under Tsar Alexander III. Its sweeping arch, richly adorned with nymphs, cherubs, and golden winged horses, embodies Belle Époque grandeur. Linking the Champs-Élysées with Les Invalides, it stands as both an engineering feat and a monument to diplomacy, artistry, and Parisian splendor.
