Pont Neuf

 This bridge was built by Henri IV.

It was designed to let people go back and forth across the Seine and to have unfettered views during traverse.

I think I have heard that it was the first bridge that didn't have shops and residences built all over it, like Ponte Vecchio in Florence.

Whatever.

For me Pont Neuf is the center of my life when I am in Paris.

Here are a few images of it.
