Passerelle Bichat

Passerelle Bichat, Steel footbridge over Canal Saint-Martin, 10th arrondissement, France.

Passerelle Michèle-Morgan is a cast-iron footbridge with an under-arch deck crossing the bassin des Récollets on the Canal Saint-Martin, linking Quai de Valmy to Quai de Jemmapes at rue Bichat in the 10th arrondissement. Restored in 2021, it was repainted from blue to its original light grey. A white sign at its base reads "BAGAGE INTERDIT".

The footbridge was long known as passerelle Bichat, after the rue Bichat it faces on the Quai de Jemmapes side. In October 2024 it was renamed passerelle Michèle-Morgan, and the new name was inaugurated on 28 February 2025, the day after the actress's birthday; Morgan, born 29 February 1920, died in 2016. The cast-iron bridge was restored in 2021, when it regained its original light grey after years painted blue.

The footbridge was renamed in October 2024 to honor French actress Michèle Morgan, who died in 2016. This naming reflects the area's connection to Paris's artistic heritage and film culture.

The bridge links Quai de Valmy to Quai de Jemmapes level with Rue Bichat, just upstream of the Récollets locks and beside the Jardin Villemin - Mahsa Jîna Amini. The nearest metro stations are Jacques Bonsergent and Gare de l'Est. The deck rises toward a shallow apex, so expect a short climb from either bank.

The bridge sits just upstream from the Récollets locks and stands close to Jardin Villemin, a green space that softens the industrial character of the area. This positioning creates an uncommon spot where water infrastructure meets planted gardens.
