Pont Neuf over the Seine, Paris, France
The Seine River, flowing through the heart of Paris, is known for its picturesque banks adorned with iconic landmarks. Among these, Pont Neuf, seen in this image, is perhaps one of the most widely recognised. Completed in 1607 during the reign of Henry IV, this bridge's elegant arches and stone sculptures have witnessed centuries of Parisian history, enduring revolutions and transformations. Pont Neuf, which translates to 'New Bridge,' is, ironically, the oldest standing bridge over the Seine. It has been designated as a 'monument historique' by the French Ministry of Culture since 1889. So, are you ready to say 'bonjour' to the enchanting French capital?
