Passerelle suspendue, Metal footbridge in Buttes-Chaumont Park, France

The Passerelle suspendue is a 65 m metal footbridge over the lake of the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont in the 19th arrondissement, linking the west bank to the Île du Belvédère. It stands 8 m above the water. Each side has a red-painted lattice truss with evenly spaced vertical posts and diagonal members, a flat deck between them, and thin dark cables rising diagonally above the deck to support the span. At its left end it meets a building with a reddish facade; at its right end, a pale rock face.

The Passerelle suspendue was designed by Gustave Eiffel and built as part of the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, opened in 1867 for the Paris Universal Exposition under Napoleon III. Its 65-metre span crosses the lake 8 metres above the water, linking the western bank to the Île du Belvédère.

The bridge crosses from the west bank of the lake to the Île du Belvédère, an island laid out with paths and a belvedere in the park created under Napoleon III. Its designer, Gustave Eiffel, is the engineer of the Eiffel Tower. Visitors walking the deck pass between red-painted lattice trusses and can look down at the lake 8 m below.

The bridge is easy to spot since it crosses the water and is visible from many parts of the park. Visitors should know that crossing is on foot and the walkway is quite open and exposed to the wind.

The bridge was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the engineer behind the Eiffel Tower. Its 65-metre span crosses the lake 8 metres above the water, linking the west bank to the Île du Belvédère. From the deck, visitors look down on the lake and across to the island's rocky outcrop.
