Pont de la Concorde
Built between 1787 and 1791, right in the revolutionary period, the Pont de la Concorde was partly constructed with stones from the demolished Bastille. It links Place de la Concorde to the Palais Bourbon, seat of the National Assembly.
Widened in the 20th century to cope with traffic, it offers a remarkable viewpoint over the Concorde, the Tuileries and the Grand Palais. It is an almost unavoidable crossing between the Right Bank and the Saint-Germain district.
Tip: cross on foot from the Concorde to reach the Musée d'Orsay in 15 minutes. The view of the Invalides upstream is worth a photo stop.
