Asnières Bridge

Asnières Bridge is a steel structure that spans 190 meters across the Seine River, connecting the northern suburbs of Paris. The crossing features multiple traffic lanes for vehicles and wide pedestrian pathways on both sides.

Built in 1908, the bridge emerged during the industrial growth period of the Paris region in the early 1900s. Its steel design reflects modern engineering techniques that made larger river crossings possible at that time.

Vincent van Gogh created several paintings near this location in 1887, depicting the Seine River and the surrounding industrial landscape.

The bridge serves as a major crossing for vehicles and pedestrians, connecting the two densely populated towns north of central Paris. The best access is from the sidewalks on either side, allowing visitors to walk comfortably across the structure.

Anglers gather at specific spots along the bridge's support pillars, continuing a tradition linked to Vincent van Gogh's paintings of the area. These waters remain a favored spot for local fishermen seeking peaceful conditions and good catches.
