Courbevoie Bridge

The Courbevoie Bridge is a stone and metal structure spanning the Seine River, connecting Courbevoie and Neuilly-sur-Seine across approximately 370 meters. It features the engineering techniques typical of the late 1800s and accommodates both pedestrians and vehicles today.

The bridge was built between 1886 and 1887 during a period of industrial expansion in Paris's western suburbs. Its construction represents the engineering advances of the late 19th century and the city's growth beyond its central districts.

Georges Seurat painted this bridge in 1886-1887, and his work now hangs in the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. The painting captures the structure as a significant landmark in the industrial suburban landscape of Paris.

The bridge is accessible on foot or by car and serves as a direct link between residential and business areas across the Seine. Visitors can walk its length to enjoy views of the river and surrounding neighborhoods from different vantage points.

The structure holds official recognition in France's general inventory of cultural heritage, marking its architectural importance. This designation highlights it as a notable example of suburban infrastructure development during the late industrial era.
