Passerelle Saint-Vincent, Pedestrian bridge in Lyon, France
The Passerelle Saint-Vincent stretches 76.5 meters across the Saone River, connecting the Saint-Paul and Saint-Vincent districts of Lyon.
Built in 1832, this pedestrian bridge replaced several wooden structures dating back to 1637, surviving the German retreat of September 1944.
The bridge marks the narrowest point of the Saone River in Lyon, providing a crossing point that has existed since Roman times.
The metal walkway measures 2.8 meters in width and features suspension cables attached to stone pillars integrated into the riverbanks.
The bridge structure moves noticeably when people walk across it or when strong winds blow through the river corridor.
