Pont Neuf
The sparkling-white stone spans of Paris’ oldest bridge, Pont Neuf – literally ‘New Bridge’ – have linked the western end of the Île de la Cité with both banks of the Seine since 1607, when King Henri IV inaugurated it by crossing the bridge on a white stallion. The seven arches, best seen from the river, are decorated with humorous and grotesque figures of barbers, dentists, pickpockets, loiterers etc.
