Venue: Pont Alexandre III

Pont Alexandre III

The Pont Alexandre III is a deck arch bridge that spans the Seine in Paris. It connects the Champs-Élysées quarter with those of the Invalides and Eiffel Tower. The bridge is widely regarded as the most ornate, extravagant bridge in the city. It has been classified as a French monument historique since 1975.
At the heart of Paris lies a bridge that sits between the Seine’s two banks: Pont Alexandre III. Surrounded by countless monuments sprinkled across the capital, the bridge has been a part of the city’s most memorable events since it was inaugurated for the 1900 Exposition Universelle and is a work of art and a monument in its own right.
