Passerelle Saint Laurent, Pedestrian bridge in Grenoble, France.
The Passerelle Saint Laurent spans across the Isère River, connecting the historic center of Grenoble to the Saint-Laurent district with its metal structure.
Built in 1837 and modernized in 1909, this crossing stands on the site of Grenoble's first bridge, which dated back to the late 11th century.
The original wooden structure contained a chapel dedicated to Notre-Dame and a time-marking mechanism until the floods of 1651 swept them away.
The footbridge remains accessible throughout the year and can be reached via tram lines A and B, stopping at Hubert Dubedout Maison du Tourisme.
For several centuries, this location represented the sole crossing point over the Isère River, linking the trade route between Chambéry and the Rhône Valley.
