Pont de la Guillotière, Stone bridge crossing the Rhône River in Lyon, France.

The Pont de la Guillotière extends 390 meters across the Rhône River with five monumental arches supporting the structure for vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

Following its destruction during World War II in September 1944, the bridge underwent complete reconstruction in 1953, replacing the original medieval wooden structure.

The bridge connects the diverse neighborhoods of Lyon, forming a central meeting point between the traditional Right Bank and the multicultural Left Bank.

Multiple public transportation options, including trams and buses, provide direct access to both ends of the bridge throughout operating hours.

The bridge features a metallic framework design from 1953, marking a departure from the previous stone and wooden constructions that stood at this location.
