    You can see Grand Palais and Petit Palais

    Pont Alexandre III is the most beautiful bridge across the Seine. It connects the Invalides and the Grand Palais and Petit Palais. It was opened in 1900 for the World Fair. The four ends have a golden sculptures of horses with wings. There are beautiful Art Nouveau lamps and pretty sculptures. You can see the Eiffel Tower. Visit at night for beautiful lights. The bridge is named after Czar Alexander III. The czar's son Nicholas II, laid the bridge's foundation in 1896. The design is Beaux Arts and Art Nouveau, what they mean by the Belle Époque in Paris.

    A viewpoint bridge. Lots of tourists stop by here to take pictures of it or on it. Very architectural looking. It connects Eiffel Tower and Invalides. The bridge is right by the Grand Palais. Very famous bridge.

    Pont Alexandre III at night, one of the prettiest bridges in Paris!

    Pont Alexandre III is my favorite bridge of the 37 bridges that span the Seine river in Paris. This exquisite bridge is the most elaborately and elegantly decorated bridge in Paris. Pont Alexandre III is designed in the theatrical Beaux-Arts style architecture, with 19th century lamps, golden cherubs, nymphs and winged horses. The bridge was built for the Exposition Universelle of 1900 and named after the Russian Tsar, Alexander III. Pont Alexandre III has appeared in many films: Anastasia, James Bond: A View to a Kill, A Very Long Engagement, Midnight in Paris, and Me Before You. The infamous bridge has also appeared in several music videos. Pont Alexandre III links Les Invalides, the site of Napoleon's tomb, on the left bank with the Champs-Élysées on the right bank. The views of the Eiffel Tower makes this bridge an excellent spot for photographs. As you stroll along the bridge note all of the grand sculptures and pillars along the bridge.

    This bridge is a sight to see. I loved how the statues on the tall columns are well kept with their gold coloring and there are a lot of sidewalks space in order to walk around and take pictures of the river, Eiffel Tower, and other backdrops of Paris. An easy walk there and you won't regret it!

    The Location: Metro #15, Exit "Champs Elysees Clemenceau" Beautiful bridge next to Grand Palais. Love the gold statues, so elegant!! Beautiful view to take pictures on the bridge. There are a few museums nearby. Definitely can spend a few hours there.

    The Pont Alexandre III is probably the most stunning bridge in Paris. It's gorgeous by day, but it's especially gorgeous by night. The way that the elegant lamps light up and the way the golden decorations shimmer is absolutely beautiful. Best of all, it's completely free! :) Also, if you go at night, you can see the crazy, lovely spider webs between the railings. Amazing.

    Famous for how ornate it is, Pont Alexandre III is a beautiful sight to see, no matter the time of day! We came in the night time, so luckily not many people were around. It was so relaxing being here and just taking the beautiful sights in.

    Okay, I'm not sure why this bridge seems to appear on a lot of the guides, since it is basically just a bridge that crosses the Sienne. Well, it could be like the London Bridge (not the Tower Bridge), which was the original bridge over the Thames, however I'm not going to speculate all that much about that. However, it is a bridge, and it does look rather nice. Mind you, we didn't cross it, but since it makes an appearance on Google Maps (as well as other sites) I though it might be worth having a look at, and a wander around. However, it doesn't take all that long to look at, and afterwards went of to see something else (namely the Invalides).

    Truly the world's most ornate bridge! Even along the beautiful Siene banks, Pont Alexandre III still stands out as an unparalleled beauty with literally every inch is adorned with art. As the link between the Grand+Petit Palais and Les Invalides, the bridge is hard to miss on your sightseeing journey, but nonetheless, Pont Alexandre III alone is definitely worth going out of your way to see! While Pont Neuf is a timeless beauty as Paris's oldest bridge, Pont Alexandre III exemplified Paris's neoclassic beauty. Both are certainly the bridges that are must-see within the City of Lights!

    Pont Alexandre is a gorgeous bridge located right in the heart of Paris. This bridge has beautiful architecture and fantastic gold accents that just beg for photographs. Standing in the middle of the bridge provides a great vantage points of the north, east, south and west of Paris. It also provides fantastic views of the Seine River along with both banks.

    Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm a total ho-bag for a good bridge. And Le Pont Alexandre III is one of my all-time favourites. During our Parisienne adventures, the Mr and I took a long, leisurely walk along the Seine - and I practically (ok, actually literally) squealed when I saw the gold pegasus' (which adorn the supporting pilars) glint in the evening sun. This bridge is just stunning - wrought iron, single arched, accented with old fashioned lamp-posts, and highlighted by 4 huge pillars with winged horses to protect it. There's also sculptures, basically sitting on the bridge at the midway point. On the Quai D'Orsay side of the bridge, you'll find the Grand Palais and Avenue Cygnie which are well worth checking out. You also get a great view of Southern Paris and the Eiffel Tower from here.

    A rainy day at the Pont Alexandre III bridge.

    One of the most beautiful bridges in the world. Certainly worth a walk by when visiting Paris. The gold statutes are beautiful. Everything about this bridge across the Seine is gorgeous!

    Landmark in Paris, France…read more.. I've visited this famous piece of architecture a few times before I knew about Yelp. Back in 2000, I was here with my former co-worker. She didn't want to visit because there was a bomb threat. I told her that it's just a threat. How many miles and hours did we fly to just stay in the hotel room? She ended up walking outside with me... LOL! Our friend dropped us off this time to just get photos. He and his wife drove around the block and picked us up in-between stops. Parking is quite the challenge here! Be on your best behavior... some guards with guns marched past us!

    I had a 3 pm reserved ticket To The Top and arrived 30 minutes early. I'm glad I did because they…read morewere running behind schedule. Once On Top I was almost 1,000 feet above ground and the views were dramatic. One level is fully enclosed behind large windows and the level above is open air with large metal screens for protection. That day the wind was calm so it was very pleasant to be on that level. On the open air level you can buy a glass of champagne and macarons to celebrate if you wish. Above you the tower rises for about another 100 feet for radio antennas, etc. It costs extra to go To The Top and it is worth it. If you do, go there first and then work your way down to the 2nd and then 1st levels. You can only access The Top by elevator. The 2nd level (400 feet) and 1st level (200 feet) are accessible by elevator and stairway. Remember it's much easier going downhill than uphill. By the way, the stairs are open air but enclosed with metal screens making it impossible for you to fall off. If you are on the 1st level and want to exit it is faster to do so by stairs rather than waiting on the elevator. There are upscale restaurants on the 1st and 2nd levels and there are chairs that you can sit on and enjoy the view. Actually, the famous French landmarks are better seen from the 2nd level than The Top. There are 2 Metro stations within less than 10 minute walking distance to the Tower so getting here is easy. It amazes me that this HUGE landmark was originally designed to be a temporary structure only, They were suppose to take it down but decided it was too popular.

Hotel des invalides was the creation of Loius XIV and originally was a hospital and retirement home for military veterans. The museum has many different sections to visit and houses one of the largest collections of military weapons and other objets from the middle ages to the present. It also houses the St Louis des Invalides Cathedral. We visited in February 2026 and paid 17 euro each for entrance fee. Its opens at 10am and closes at 5:50pm. Plan to spend at least 3 to 4 hours here. We were here for the entire day and still did not get to see everything. Audio guides are free as long as you leave an ID with the desk. I would recommend getting the audio tour. There was massive construction going on in the enormous courtyard, so unfortunately this was not accessible. There is a cafe near Napoleans tomb which which we stopped on for hot chocolate and croissants and to rest.

    This is a cool museum to visit. It once was and still is a hospital for veterans. If you like…read moreNapoleonic history then this is a MUST SEE museum. I personally enjoyed it. I cannot emphasize enough how cool and vast this museum is. Super worth seeing. Started in the weapons gallery. So many swords, knives, shields, and other weapons from different eras like the French, Ottoman Turks, the Japanese and so forth. Then went to the big French/Napoleon exhibition. Wow. So much information, portraits, videos, and stuff to learn. You could spend the entire day here. So many rooms and hallways to see. Finally finished with Napoleon's tomb. Wow! What a casket for one man. Definitely their crown jewel. What Abraham Lincoln was to us, Napoleon is to the French. Definitely visit this museum!

If you could read my heart, you would see the place that I keep you.. so I wander.. A cool, old, very old neighborhood in Paris. I'm usually in the Montmartre, Madeleine, or Pyramids areas of Paris, so for me, crossing Le Seine River is the first step before any steps are in Quartier Latin. Wandering Quartier Latin was fun for me. Passing historical landmarks such as the Natural History Museum, the Panthéon, Medieval Musée de Cluny with the Lady and the Unicorn Tapestries that dates to circa 1511, to more modern destinations like the Shakespeare & Company English Bookstore, which dates to 1911 and seems so beautifully out of place. Just walking the streets you can find yourself in well known movie spots, like the Rue Mouffetard - Market Street, where Julia Child listed as her favorite outdoor market. The same streets made popular by Meryl Streep seen shopping in Julie and Julia! Oui, oui! In the end, I encourage you to stroll through Quartier Latin. One of the most architectural preserved arrondissement in all of Paris and it's absolutely free! Wanderlust like I did and find cobblestone streets filled with history and character! Voltaire sleeps for eternity at the Panthéon and so does Madame Curie. Oh! If you could read my heart... IG: @eric_travel_guru
