ALEXANDRE III BRIDGE PARIS
Image Number 77
The Pont Alexandre III is Paris's most elegant bridge, ornamented with fine sculpture work. Amongst the decorations are four 17 metre high corner pillars, bearing four gilded bronze equestrian groups which represent Pegasus held by Fame. In the distance is the Grand Palais. Built together with the bridge for the 1900 Universal Exhibition, it now houses the City of Paris Museum of Fine Arts.
