Pont de Neuilly

The Pont de Neuilly is a stone bridge crossing the Seine River with five large arches supporting its weight over the water. It serves a dual purpose by carrying both road traffic on its upper level and a metro line underneath.

An earlier structure at this location was built in the 1700s by an engineer who later founded a major technical school. The present bridge was constructed during the 1940s as a replacement.

The bridge is named after a pioneering French engineer and reflects how technical knowledge shaped the nation's development. Visitors crossing it experience a direct link between urban areas on opposite sides of the river.

The bridge is most easily reached by metro since the station sits directly beneath it. Pedestrian and cycling paths are also available for crossing at this river point.

A staircase at the center of the structure leads down to an island in the Seine that many visitors miss. This hidden passage provides an unexpected way to reach a spot most people do not discover.
