The Alexander III Bridge was completed in 1900 and is a 107-meter-long bridge consisting of a bridge arch, which is lower to not affect the view of the Champs Elysees and the Invalides. As a symbol of the Franco-Russian friendship at the time, the bridge was named after its founder, Alexander III, father of Tsar Nicholas II. At both ends and sides of the bridge, there is a huge stone pillar on each side, which is a bronzed knight statue, and the flying horses are very vivid and are excellent artwork. Every entrance of the bridge is erected with high horned pillars. The bridge is a group of aquatic flora and fauna patterns and a group of wreath patterns; on the bridge, the exquisite metal street lights add charm at night.

Somehow having missed this bridge on previous visits, we made a point to visit it this time around and I am glad that we didThe bridge itself is very beautiful and offers great vistas over Seine. However the best part is after sunset when the bridge lights up and you can see lighted Eiffel as well from it. Worth visiting just for it even if you are not fan of architecture or history
亚历山大三世桥(Pont Alexandre III)建于1897年,是法国巴黎跨越塞纳河的一座拱桥,连接右岸的香榭丽舍大街地区和左岸的荣军院和艾菲尔铁塔地区,根据名字可以猜出这是为了纪念十九世纪末法俄结成同盟,这是塞纳河上最华丽的一座桥。 桥身上下刻有许多精美的雕刻,夜幕降临后桥身会亮起黄色的灯光。亚历山大三世桥曾多次出现在巴黎明信片、影视作品、音乐MV当中,例如Adele的音乐作品 "Someone Like You"。
