Pont au Double, Cast iron bridge near Notre-Dame Cathedral, Paris, France.
Pont au Double is a cast iron arch bridge that spans the Seine in one sweeping curve, connecting the Latin Quarter directly to Île de la Cité. The structure stretches about 45 meters and accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists with a level walkway.
The first bridge here was built in 1634 to connect the Latin Quarter with the Hôtel-Dieu hospital on Île de la Cité. The current iron version replaced the original structure to provide a more reliable and durable crossing.
The bridge connects the student quarter with the cathedral district, serving as a natural gathering point where these two worlds meet daily. Locals and visitors cross here constantly, making it a working part of the city rather than just a landmark.
The bridge is simple to cross from either side, with easy access points for walkers and cyclists on both banks. The nearest metro stations are just a short walk away, making it convenient to reach from anywhere in the city.
The name comes from a medieval toll of two small coins that pedestrians once paid to cross here. This makes it unusual among Paris bridges, as most are named after different sources.
