The most famous bridge of Paris, the Pont Neuf is more than a simple bridge connecting the two banks of the Seine. It is a true witness of the history and architecture of Paris.
The Pont Neuf was created by King Henri IV in 1578. It is easily recognizable by its 12 semicircular arches, its series of 381 mascarons and its equestrian statue of Henri IV.
The Pont Neuf is a true architectural gem, with its stone arches, watchtowers and decorative sculptures. It is a unique example of French Renaissance architecture, which has influenced bridges built all over the world.
In the heart of Paris, it offers a breathtaking view of the Seine and the emblematic places of the city, such as the Place Dauphine, the Samaritaine, the Pont des Arts or the Square du Vert Galand.
The Pont Neuf has been the setting for many famous films and novels, such as "Le Dernier Métro" by François Truffaut and "Les Enfants Terribles" by Jean Cocteau. In 1985, the artist Christo also wrapped this bridge to the great joy of the Parisians, first skeptical then enthusiastic.
In any case, the Pont Neuf is the perfect place to capture unforgettable photos of Paris.
