Alma Bridge
Pont de l'Alma
Alma Bridge, Paris Overview
Alma Bridge is a slender road bridge across the River Seine. It is also the site of the car accident that led to the tragic death of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed. You can enjoy the picturesque view of the Eiffel Tower from Pont de l'Alma, too!
It was named to memorialize the victory in the Battle of Alma during the Crimean War on 20 September 1854, which was between the Ottoman-Franco-British alliance and the Russian army. Set in the western part of Paris, the Pont de l’Alma was constructed in 1854 on the orders of Napoleon III. This bridge is 42 m (138 ft) wide & 153 m (502 ft) long. It runs from the Musée du Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac and the Paris Sewer Museum on the Left Bank to Chez Francis - the estimable brasserie on Place de l’Alma, where you will come across a statue that is identical to the flame of Bartholdi’s Statue of Liberty.
