The Solferino Bridge was built in Paris in honor of the victory of the French troops on the Austro-Italian army under the Italian village of Solferino. This name he wore until 2006, now it is a pedestrian bridge Leopold sedar of Sengora. " It was opened in 1861 and originally consisted of three cast-iron arches, which joined the embankments of Tuileries and Anatol France. Then he was not pedestrian and used only for traffic.
By 1960, the structures of the bridge came to the emergency condition, and it was destroyed. And after exactly a year, a new pedestrian bridge was built on the same place, which was served until 1992, as it was a temporary construction. Then, according to the results of the international competition for the project of the new bridge, the project of engineer Mamram Mamram was chosen, which envisaged the construction of a light structure. And in 1999, a graceful 115-meter Arch, which joined the Tuileries Garden with Orsay, rose over the Sayna River.
The bridge is striking with its beauty and simultaneous simplicity of the design: wooden flooring supports two mesh arches connected by traverse. The Solferino Bridge made in the modernist style not only organically fits into the Paris landscape, but is an important topographic object on the city map.

Bridge Tournel
The Turnel Bridge is among the oldest bridges of Paris. He was erected in 1651 on the spot built in 1370 wooden Bridge The king demolished during the flood, and connected the island of Saint-Louis with the left shore of the Seine.
Preoperation bridges were a lot. At first, the new wooden bridge was built in 1618-1620, and the passage on it was paid. However, in the spring of 1637, he was demolished during the ice drift, and the Parisian again built a wooden bridge, which stood only 17 years - until another flood. And only then, the progress of the past citizens began to build a bridge from stone. He stood much longer, but, alas, in 1910, the insidious waters of the Seina again destroyed him, the truth is not completely. And in 1918 the bridge was dismantled finally.
The next construction began in 1923-1928. This time, the design turned out to be more durable, and the statue of Saint Genevieve, the patroness of Paris, who defended one day the city from the Huns attacks the Gunnov attacks the bridge. It is not known whether the secret of the strength of this bridge is hiding in engineering intricacies, or this is due to the holy patronage - in any case, this bridge is much more steady than its predecessors!

Grennel Bridge
Grennel Bridge is one of three bridges crossing, the so-called Lebiagia Island. It does not have any architectural features, but is interested in those attractions that surround it. The modern bridge was built in 1966 on the place of an earlier cast-iron design, which joined the seacions of the Seine since 1873.
The main attraction, which is perfectly visible from the Grennel bridge is a reduced copy of the Statue of Freedom, which decorates the Western tip of the Swan Island. She was presented to the Americans to the Central Anniversary from the date of the take of Bastille. This is a symbolic act, because the sculptor made a French sculptor installed in New York, and giving her a copy of France, the US authorities expressed their gratitude. On the plate that the statue holds in his hands, the historical dates are knocked out - the day of signing the US Constitution and the Day of Taking Bastille, connected by the sign of equality.

Bridge Carridge
The bridge, the Carridge in Paris connects the embankment of the Tuileries and the Embankment of Voltaire. The bridge received its name several years after the completion of construction. The Louis-Philip King called him "Pont Du-Du-Carousel", because at the right bank of the Songs near the Triumphal Arch was the area of \u200b\u200bKarosher.
The architect of the bridge was Antoine Remy Roponkaau, who embodied innovative design. At that time, in Paris, there were mainly hanging bridges, and the bridge of the Carridge became arched. At the same time, a tree was used in the materials on a par with cast iron. At both ends of the bridge, stone sculptures were erected, depicting allegorical images of industry, abundance, city of Paris and the Seine River.
In 1906, after almost 70 years of operation, it was decided to organize the first serious restoration of the bridge. Wooden elements were replaced with similar, cast in the gland. However, the bridge for becoming more and more busy car movement was recognized too narrow, and his height was insufficient for modern river transport. It was decided to completely abandon the bridge, building the similar bridge below the flow. Today, the new reinforced concrete bridge crosses the river in three arches. It has a telescopic lighting system from the height-adjustable lights.

Only in 1651, after several attempts of reconstruction, a stone bridge was erected, which, as it turned out, also did not resist before the swollen element. Incorrect construction technology, and maybe simply not high-quality material did not allow the bridge to resist the flood of 1910, which brought global destruction.
In 1918, it was decided to completely demolish the bridge. In 1923-1928, a brand new bridge was built, which we can see today - the Tournel Bridge.

The total reconstruction of the bridge was carried out in 1981-1984, when he was returned to the initial forms. Only the number of arches changed - they were seven instead of the initial nine. Open for pedestrians In 1984, the bridge of the arts gained great popularity among Parisians, which picnics are arranged right on the bridge in the summer, and sometimes art exhibitions are held here.

Long before the appearance of the bridge in its place was temporary crossing, which was decided to replace the permanent bridge after the construction of the consent area. Construction began in 1787 under the leadership of the master of French classicism Jean-Rhodolph Perrone.
The first name of the bridge was different - "Louis XVI Bridge", but after completing the construction in 1791, it was replaced by the "Bridge of Revolution" and should have symbolized victory over absolutism. Consent Bridge is a more modern name.)
During the reign of Napoleon, Bonaparte was decided to decorate the bridge with the sculptures of the french army killed in the battles. After the power of the bourbon dynasty was established, the sculptures of the generals were replaced with the images of great historical figures, ministers. However, these statues were too heavy and created a threat to the collapse of the bridge. According to this they were transported to Versailles. The latter reconstruction was carried out in 1930-1932, when its throughput was almost twice. Nowadays, the bridge of consent is one of the most loaded Paris bridges.
Today, the bridge of consent can be called the most loaded in Paris, because transportation is longer than any other Paris Bridge every day.

The original bridge was built at this place in 1378 on the project of the architect Gugu Ozrio, who was responsible for the construction of Bastille. The construction of a new bridge was due to the fact that the small bridge located nearby, built by more ancient Romans, could no longer withstand the growing flow of people and wagons, and the city was sharply needed by a new transport artery. Almost immediately after the construction of the bridge, the merchants began to erect their residential buildings and shops on it. All this made the design is more severe and unstable, besides, the floods are quite often washed off all the buildings on the bridge.
The capital restructuring of the Saint-Michel bridge became possible only at the end of the XVIII century, when Louis XVI was banned for the construction of any buildings on bridges. The last most significant reconstruction of the bridge was carried out in 1850, giving him a modern appearance.

In 1985, the bridge fell into his hands the artist Hristo along with his wife Zhanna-Claude. Works on it launched about 10 years, solely due to the fact that the approval of this project by Mayor Jacques Chirac was required.
The new bridge became the first stone bridge passing through Seine, which did not build at home, as the king found that they would probably spoil the view of the Louvre, to which Heinrich IV was very not indifferent.
The length of this twelve-percent huge design is 275 meters. In the central part of the bridge, the statue of Heinrich IV was erected. The new bridge, like a lot of bridges of that time, was built in the Romanesque style, namely, in the form of a number of short arches.
The new bridge was one of the busiest places of Paris: temporary shops disappeared on its both parties, which disappeared only in the XIX century.
Nowadays the bridge also has mega popularity, because this is the most romantic Bridge of Paris, which connects the right and left bank of the Seine River with the western part of the Sieve Island. We all remember how Juliette Binoche was suffering from "lovers from the Point Neft Bridge.

Small bridge
Small bridge - one of the oldest bridges of Paris. Its design fully corresponds to the name, since the length of the stone arched stone structure, taking the shores of the Seine, is only 20 meters. Information about the bridge in this place belongs to the times of Gaul's conquest Roman troops.
The first bridges on this territory were built in ancient times, when Celtic tribes lived here. When Rome's troops approached the island of Site, Celts burned all the bridges that bind the island with the rest of the world. So they tried to prevent the invaders to their territory. Romans did not have anything else to do anything, how to build a new bridge. However, the wooden small bridge built by them was destroyed in 886. Then they walked the strongest rains, and the water in the Seine rose so highly that he simply demolished the preserved bridge. After that, the bridge was repeatedly rebuilt.
Over time, residential buildings and shopping shops have grown on a small bridge - it was a distinctive feature of that era. And thanks to numerous shopping points, the bridge has become one of the centers of the economy life of the city. So it was until 1393, when the bridge washed off again, as in 1408. But persistent Parisians were rejected him again at the same place. The last time the small bridge was restored in 1852, and it was in the form that it was preserved to the present day.

He got his name in honor of the victory of the French army over Russian troops in the almine battle, during the Crimean War. The bridge was opened in 1856 by Emperor Napoleon III. In 1900, during the preparation for the World Exhibition, its length was doubled - a small pedestrian bridge was attached.
Each of the four supports of the bridge, once, was decorated with a Military sculpture - Zuaba (the so-called shelves of light infantry), Grenader, Artilleryman and Infantryman. They served not only as a decorative element, but also used from a practical point of view. According to the statues it was convenient to determine the water level in the Seine. For example, if the water completely covered the foot of the legs of Zoava, the police overlapped approaches to the river if the water rose to the hips - navigation closed on the river.
The modern view of the Alma Bridge found in 1970-74 - the old bridge ceased to cope with the needs of the increased transport flow. After the reconstruction of the statue was removed from the bridge and taken from Paris, only the figure of Zuab remained at their original place.

Sights of Paris
One of the most beautiful and romantic European cities-Paris can be bolded to call the city of bridges. After all, there are no few, but as much as 37. And if they were not, then the River Sena, separating Paris into 2 parts, would have become a serious obstacle to tourists, but also for Parisians themselves. Bridges were built in different era, respectively, it affected them on their appearance. It is difficult to find a bridge in Paris, which would be similar to another. And every bridge certainly has its own story, amazing and unique ... I will tell about some of them:

In its middle part, the new bridge is based on the European and Patriarch, where a little later was Square with an equestrian monument to Henry IV was built. Unlike other bridges of that time, the new bridge was not built up with houses and had pedestrian sidewalks.

In medieval times, this bridge was chosen by numerous shopkeery and changed. It was the main financial artery of the French capital. The bridge was so tightly built up with rows of shops, which rather resembled a flea market, and the Parisian strolled on him simply did not see the river.

However, this measure had a short-term effect, and soon the city was conquered. Active construction began on the sieve, during which the small bridge was revived from the tree, and notre-lades from stone. The next important stage in the life of the bridges came in 886, after the siege of the city of Normans. Petit Pont was demolished by the waters from the shores of the Seine, and he was rebuilt again, and notre-ladies injured during hostilities were replaced with a new bridge changed (Pont Au Change), built downstream. The last time it was reconstructed in the XIX century. Now they were chosen to rolers. And numerous tourists in the famous Parisian Cathedral of the Paris, the army of cartoonists, quotes and simple artists wave on the bridge.

Many reconstructions and changes have undergone. At the idea, the bridge should have become a kind of entrance and departure from the city itself. But due to the fact that Paris was constantly growing, as a result he became a link between the left and right bank of the city. In 1992, thanks to the architectural skills of Crystian Langulua, the Brick Bridge was increased by three additional bands and now it goes the 6th metro branch. 
13. Bridge Tolbiak (Pont De Tolbic). 
14. Alexander III Bridge (Pont Alexandre III), perhaps the most impressive and elegant in Paris leads from the Champs Elysees on the right bank to the house of the disabled on the left. The decoration of this structure containing the figures of Pegasov, angels and the nymph, was performed in the playful and at the same time the noble eclectic style of the BOS-AR combining the best traditions French Baroque and Italian Renaissance. Luxurious Pont Alexandre III, called the name of the Russian emperor, was laid by Nikolai II in 1896 in honor of the Franco-Russian Union and was opened on the eve of the beginning of the 1900 World Exhibition.

Paris, the world capital of fashion, flavors, wine, the most delicious buns and cheeses, was founded on the Sena River. From the Poskov of the centuries through the Seine, bridges were erected. At first they were wooden, later stone, and even built-up buildings (shopping and residential). The development of the city is inextricably linked with the bridges, which are currently about 38 today.
Initially, it was a wooden structure that arose in the 9th century, as a crossing for the central part of Paris. Later, in the XVII century, the bridge (Viaduct) was replaced by stone. Characteristic feature This structure was about 140 residential buildings and over 100 shops of merchants and changed, for which the bridge and got its name. This viaduct is very well described in the work of P. Zyuskinda "Parfumer". 
This is one of the oldest architectural monuments of the city, which was laid back in the XVI century by King Heinrich III. The main purpose of this structure was to unload the bridge changed and notre-ladies. This ViaduC is considered a kind of symbol of the Epoch of the Middle Ages, and it does not provide any additional buildings. 
This crossing is also quite ancient. The project of a wooden building developed in 1605 Architect Christoph Marie. Later, the bridge called him name. But as a result of the flooding of 1658, the crossing was almost destroyed, it was restored from the stone and this building was preserved to the present day. 
Royal Bridge (Royal)
Included in the top of the oldest bridges of the city. The construction of the crossing was conducted from 1685 to 1689 under the patronage of King Louis XIV.
When, at the beginning of the XIX century, wooden and stone bridges were recognized as an unsanitary, dangerous for the lives of people and inesthetical, on the orders of Napoleon, the first iron bridge was built. This cropping joined the French Academy and the Louvre Museum (formerly Palace of Arts), hence her name. It is a pedestrian: from here you can enjoy the beauty of the city, as well as relax on the bench, or have a snack in a small diner. And the couples in love consider him as the most romantic place in Paris, so they come here to install locks like a symbol of their love. 
This construction is considered very symbolic: it is built from the remains of stone Bastille. At first, the bridge was called the revolution, but later it was renamed in honor of one of the urban areas. To date, this is one of the most frequently used by Paris. 
Initially, Bercy was constructed in 1832. Then she was beyond the city, and the transition through it was taxed. In 1864, a new bridge was erected, which in many respects repeated the design of the old, but led by large sizes, reinforced supports and fasteners. 
In the original, the name was called Solferino and was built in honor of the victory of the Allied Troops of France and Italy over Austria. Opened the bridge in 1861 Emperor Napoleon III. But over time, the construction collapsed, and in her place was erected by the new Viaduct, who was called the first President of Senegal. 
This is another symbolic structure of Paris. It was timed to the victory of the French and their allies over Russia in the Battle of Alma River (Crimean War). The bridge is also known as a tragic event: the princess Diana died in the tunnel under it in the car accident. There is a torch "Flame Freedom", which since that regrettable moment has become a kind of princess memorial and the pilgrimage site of many of her fans. 
This pedestrian bridge, built in 2006, connects the 12th and 13th County of Paris. This crossing is considered to be a brilliant technical structure, since it has the shape of the eye. 
This crossing, thanks to openwork metal structures, has a very elegant form. The three arches are harmoniously interconnected, and they decorate their 4 statues cast out of bronze (one of them symbolizes Paris, the second is navigation, the third is commerce, and the fourth is abundance). This bridge devoted one of his works by the poet Guillaum Apolliner.

As you know, Paris originated on a small island on the Sena River and it was from here. Therefore, the first crossings in Paris joined the island of Site with the right and left shore of the Seine. Initially, they were built with wooden, but subsequently redid to the stone, and many even built up buildings. The history of populated bridges in Paris is not very simple. The first shops of artisans and merchants appeared in the XII century and the XV century on the Bridge of Notre Dame (Pont Notre-Dame) could see the first residential buildings and shops. Thanks to them, he quickly turned into shopping center cities. However, by order of the king in 1786, all buildings were demolished from the bridge.
New Bridge (Pont Neuf) In fact, it is the oldest of the preserved. Its construction began at the end of the XVI century, then in Paris there were already 4 crossings across the river, but they did not cope with an ever-increasing street movement. He was needed in order to discharge the situation on a changeable and notre-lady bridge. A feature of this viaduct at that time was that there were no buildings on it.
This in turn caused the perturbation of merchants who used to see bridges in Paris Built-up shops and residential buildings. Undoubtedly, this construction is one of the symbols of the city for which it was repeatedly mentioned in the works of artists and writers.
Bridge changed (Pont De Change), on the spot of it, as in the place of most, in the center of Paris, in the 9th century it was originally a wooden structure. Subsequently, around 1638, a stone bridge was built, on which there were about 140 houses and more than 100 shopping shops changed, for which it was so named.
In the royal agreement on development it was said that, all the buildings should correspond and approach each other, all the facilities are obliged to be from one material and is at the same level. As a result, all the buildings on the bridge looked like two rows of the same houses with shops and shops on the first floor, which were published on a narrow street between them.
By the time the first iron appeared in Paris Art Bridge (Pont Des Arts)The inhabited bridges have already had a reputation as unsanitary, dangerous and anti-protective structures. This viaduct built in 1801-1804 by order of the emperor Napoleon is now pedestrian.
So many passersby here stop just a snack or sit on the bench, because the view from the construction and the place itself has extraordinary beauty. This crossing unit also connects the French academy, and since the Louvre used to be called the Palace of Arts, the bridge began to be called respectively.
Alexander III Bridge (Pont Alexandre III) It is directly related to Russia. It was built in 1896-1900 in honor of the conclusion of the Military Union between France and Russia. And was named after the father of Emperor Nicholas II, Alexander III, who, during construction, laid one of the stones in the foundation of the structure.
Many consider this in Paris the most elegant. And indeed, even from afar, the construction sparkles with gilded figures, located on four 17 meter columns and at the same time strikes with their easiestness, because the bridge is single-pool.
Consent Bridge (Pont Concorde) It is known for the fact that it was built from the stone remains of the destroyed and in honor of it first called the bridge of the revolution.
Now he is called on the right bank of the Seine, which he connects with the Bourbon Palace on the left bank. For today, this bridge in Paris is in the first place in the intensity of movement.
So, the history and development of Paris is inextricably linked with their bridges, which are 38 only within the boulevard rings. And any tourist can be happy to spend not one day studying and contemplating alone only paris bridges.
Once upon a time Pont Neuf (Pont Neuf) was created in order to solve the problem with the opposite, expanding the number of crossing through the Seine. To our time, the remaining structures that existed at the time were rebuilt, and the "new bridge" became the oldest in the city.
Pont Neuf - "New Bridge" - open in 1607, length 232 m, width 22 m
The name "Pont Neuf) translates from French as a" new bridge ", which fully matched the realities of its construction. Pon-Nek passing through the western edge of the island connects the embankment on the right bank from the embankment of Connya and Granz-Augusten on the left. This crossing through Sene became the fifth in the French capital. In an amazing way, she passed through five centuries to become one of the symbols of the city, much older than all other bridges.

The history of the appearance of Pon Neg
Despite the fact that in the XVI century was far from being so thick, as now, the transport problem of the capital of France was disturbed already then. The fact is that in those years bridges were "platforms" for trading, on which artisans not only exhibited, but even fully built up with houses. Naturally, the width of the carriage part was rapidly declining, not allowing the opportunity to freely cross between the banks of the Seine not only the carts and pedestrians, but also crowned individuals.
In 1556, Henry II proposed to build a new bridge over Seno, located near, he had to be intended only for free movement, without the construction of houses and shopping shops. However, his plan failed, having met the fierce resistance of merchants who did not want to lose potential customers. The cost, estimated too high for the treasury of the state played its role. Only 30 years later, already with Henrich III, work still began. The first stone in the foundation of "Pon-Neub" was laid on May 31, 1578 by the king in the presence of Catherine Medici, the Queen of Mother, and his spouse, Louise Lotaring.
Pon-Nets "born" in flour - Paris Mercury desperately protested against such a development of events. But the "cry of crying" was not called because of this. According to the testimony of contemporaries, rain was raining during the start of construction, and the king was crying. He just sobbed not because of bad weather, but because of the death of a duel of one of his favorites.
The king of the results of construction did not see. Already after his death, the work was frozen for 10 years due to the national uprising against the king and the unstable political situation within the country from 1588 to 1598. However, in 1607, when the country ruled the next Heinrich, already IV, Pon-Neuch was still open.

Construction of the bridge of Pon
Initially, it was planned that the construct of Ponfill would be a single integer connecting two shores without any obstacles. The bridge did not intend to build up masterfully and housing, which contradicted the traditions. The idea belonged to one of the architects, Andruie de Srso, and not henrich III, which is often mistakenly said. Naturally, this option did not like merchants. Under the pressure of the public, already in 1579, the design was decided "slightly" to recycle for the possibility of building buildings in the future. To do this, some changes were made to the project, for example, the need for basements was taken into account.
But after a year after laying the first stone, the builders came to the conclusion that the construction will be more resistant to the influence of the river the flow, if its two parts through the island are built at a low angle. And after the plans still included the appearance in the future at the crossing of houses, the architects had to increase the number of arches in each of the parties. At the same time, construction has already begun on the south side, and the length of the spans was necessary to reduce. As a result, a lot of money was spent to rebuild the design. Only in the end, all these innovations were practically not useful, in the entire history of the bridge of the house on it did not appear. The case was limited to only small buildings in which the shops of merchants and the pumping station building were accommodated.

"SAMARYANK PUM"
In addition to small beads under the roofs, which stood on the supports of the bridge, only one full-fledged building was attached to Pon-Nets - "Samaryanka Pump." In 1602, the king allowed the construction of a large pump that was designed to provide water palaces and Tuileries with his gardens. The pumping was a small residential building on piles, crowned with clocks with chimes, inside which the steam engine was installed and two large wheels of the scratching water.
The Samaritan pump designed and built by Flemish Jean Lintlar - was the first car to lift the water built in. In 1791, sculptures were removed from the pumping building, and it was generally transferred under the post of guard. In 1813, the building of the former pump was completely dismantled, and by the mid-19th century, traders' shops were gradually disassembled. However, the name "Samaryanka" did not go irrevocably, today this name is a huge multi-storey store near the bridge (for reconstruction).
In the XXI century Pon-Net, despite numerous restorations, is the most old structure, unlike the "contemporaries", which were completely rebuilt on old foundations. Now he, as in the XVI century. represents a 232-meter design of a width of 22 m. At one time he was the most long bridge (now 5th), and the first bridge in Paris that had pedestrian sidewalls.

For that Pon Nubes love tourists
Ponfill is not only a historic and architectural monument. He is also an important cultural landmark. Special attention here deserves "maskarons" - sculptural decorations in the form of the heads of the heroes of the ancient Greek myths. Original decorations were created by partially famous sculptor of the Renaissance era of German Pylon and his followers (the master died in 1590). Today the bridge decorate copies of the XVI century masks. Originals, too affected by weather, transferred to museums:, Klyuchni. Interestingly, among 381 Mascaron is only one image of female.
At the viewer, who first saw the bridge, there may be questions regarding the appointment of decorative semicircular protrusions at the level of sidewalks. They were created in order to streamline possible trade, placing shops are not on the road, but in special notches. Today it opens with them great view On Sena, with river trams floating on it, and a visible distance.

In the XIX century The appearance of the bridge received many additions and changes. For example, semicircular arches were replaced by understated, Metal lanterns of Viktor Baltar appeared. At the beginning of the 19th century, Louis XVIII restored the statue of the rider on the island - a copy of the Bronze Story of Heinrich IV, ordered by Maria Medici. The original statue was destroyed in 1792 during the French Revolution.
Vel-Galan will be interesting for travelers - Square "Forky Lover", broken in the western part of the island having a triangular shape ("Arrow"). The descent to it is available on the stairs located right behind the above statue of Heinrich IV. Quiet garden, small calm alleys, the ability to ride on river trams, sticking to the island - today this place is very popular with lovers. Taking into account the fact that the bridge connects the path from the embankment to the Embankment of the Contion, the romantic mood, characteristic of the park, is very appropriate for enjoying the beauty of Paris Counties and tourists in hurrying to.

"Lovers' castles"
The tradition, which began in the XIX century in Florence, where young men and girls, "fixing" their feelings, hung the castles on the Ponte Vecchio bridge, and the keys were thrown into the Arno River and to Paris. Moreover, in the most visited tourists of the world, "Love Castles" were so popular that turned into a problem. After in 2007, under the severity of numerous locks, the lantern collapsed on the Mulviev Bridge in Rome - activists scored alarm. "Lovers' castles" Paris bridges began to present a real threat as the weight of their metal reaches a hundred tons, which leads to deformation of the supports engineering structures, And the bottom of the hay is grazing with rusting keys.
