Pont Alexandre III is the most ornate and extravagant bridge in Paris. It connects the Champs-Élysées quarter and the Invalides and Eiffel Tower quarter.
The bridge was designed by the architects Joseph Cassien-Bernard and Gaston Cousin. Was built by the engineers Jean Résal and Amédée d'Alby and inaugurated in 1900 for the Universal Exhibition.
The bridge was named after Tsar Alexander III, who had concluded the Franco-Russian Alliance in 1892. His son Nicholas II laid the foundation stone in October 1896.
