Pont Saint-Michel, Stone bridge across Seine River in Latin Quarter, France
The Pont Saint-Michel extends 62 meters across the Seine River, connecting the Place Saint-Michel on the left bank to the Île de la Cité.
The first stone bridge at this location was constructed between 1379 and 1387, following a decision by the Parlement of Paris to improve river crossings.
The bridge gained historical importance as a memorial site, with a plaque installed in 2001 marking the events of October 17, 1961.
The bridge provides direct access to two major transport hubs: Saint-Michel metro station on line 4 and Saint-Michel-Notre-Dame RER station for lines B and C.
The current structure, built in 1857, displays Napoleon III's imperial insignia and features three symmetrical arches measuring 17.2 meters each.
