Based on tripadvisor's reviews I decided to visit the bridge & I wasn't dissapointed as I spent around 40 minutes on the bridge enjoying all the details of it! I loved the sunset view of Eiffel Tower from Pont Alexandre, it was sooo beautiful.

We saw it during our Seine River cruise and it looked spectacular! Take good note of the heads between the pillars!

.....and that says a lot! Standing in the center you look at the beautiful Les Invalides on one side and the Palais Royale on the other. The gorgeous gold statutes stand out against those oftentimes Parisian grey skies. A perfect spot to watch the river boats beneath you.

The most beautiful bridge I have ever seen. Simply amazing, unlike anything i have ever seen. I only had the pleasure of driving over it, but even then it was still perfect. It looked really clean and well maintained and the gold statues shining in the sun was the icing on the cake. Such a really nice thing to see... More

We took the BatoBus to the Pont Alexandre lll and it was really magnificent. The day was full of sunshine which seemed to reflect off the gold trimming of the bridge. Was really amazing to experience first hand.

The view of Les Invalides when approaching this bridge is stunning. The gold, the black-and-gold - beautiful! One of the best photo opportunities in this most lovely of cities.

A nice looking bridge which sticks out in my mind of the numerous bridges in Paris. It looked quite well maintained and perhaps newly painted when I saw it,

Takes you from one side of the river to the other while also letting boats pass under. I'm quite surprised the french dont charge people onto this bridge.

In my first night in Paris I have gone to see the Sena. All the bridges was wonderful illuminated and also the ships on Sena. After few days, walking to the Tour Eiffel I saw this bridge ''Pont Alexandre III'' in a middle of a sunshine day and the effect was incredible. The golden statuary groups looks alive in light...
