Nobody can stay indifferent
seeing this splendid, extraordinary and impressive beautiful 107.5 meters long
bridge: the PONT ALEXANDRE III. Maybe some grump will complain about the
numerous allegories and abundant decorations of chandeliers and garlands. The
name is due to Alexandre III, Tsar of Russia who inaugurated it for the world
exhibition of 1900. This bridge is a typical example of the grandiose way that
the 19th century was concluded, unbridled taste of the Belle Epoque. |
