Pont de Bir-Hakeim

Free

Pont de Bir-Hakeim spans the Seine near the Eiffel Tower, combining an elevated metro viaduct with a lower pedestrian and vehicle level. Cast-iron columns and decorative ironwork line the structure, and the bridge is a popular spot for photographs due to its unobstructed sightline toward the tower. It has also appeared in several films.

✨ Reasons to go
