Is there anything more beautiful than the bridges over the Seine? This one is
Le Pont Marie and I took this photo yesterday evening from
Le Pont Louis-Philippe right when a
Bateau Mouche was passing underneath it (you can see the additional light coming from the boat). Le Pont Marie (named after its architect, Christophe Marie) is very old ; it was built between 1614 and 1635 and at that time several houses could be found on it. A huge flood destroyed 2 arches in 1658 and several houses - and inhabitants! - were taken away by the river... They decided not to rebuild the houses when they fixed the bridge...
