Passerelle Debilly, Steel footbridge near Eiffel Tower, Paris, France
The Passerelle Debilly spans 125 meters across the Seine River, connecting the 7th and 16th arrondissements with its metal arch structure.
Originally constructed for the 1900 World Exposition in Paris, the bridge was later moved to its current location in 1906.
The footbridge received its name in honor of General Jean Louis Debilly, a military commander who died at the Battle of Jena in 1806.
Visitors can reach the bridge via Metro station Iena on line 9 or RER station Pont de l'Alma on line C.
The structure features decorative dark green ceramic tiles forming wave patterns along its metallic framework.
