Passerelle Paul Couturier, Pedestrian bridge across Saône River in Lyon, France
The 87-meter-long metal footbridge spans the Saône River, connecting the Ainay neighborhood with the Saint-Georges district of Lyon.
Built in 1853, the bridge underwent reconstruction in 1944 following wartime damage and received a complete structural renovation in 1996.
The bridge changed its name from Saint-Georges to Paul Couturier in 2003, honoring a local abbot who taught at Chartreux school for 40 years.
The structure provides a direct pedestrian route between two central districts, offering convenient access to Saint-Georges Church and local markets.
The bridge stands as one of several crossings over the Saône River that form an essential network of pedestrian connections in central Lyon.
