Pont Napoléon-III, Stone bridge in Nice, France
The Napoleon III Bridge spans 270 meters across the Var River, connecting Nice with Saint-Laurent-du-Var through metropolitan route 6007.
Built between 1862 and 1864, this structure replaced a wooden bridge and marked the border between the Duchy of Savoy and Provence County.
The bridge received decorative elements in 2010, including nineteen polyester resin vases and bronze lampposts to commemorate its 150th anniversary.
The bridge functions as a primary access route to Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport and accommodates thousands of vehicles daily on its multiple lanes.
In 1919, pilot Auguste Maïcon performed a notable feat by flying his Caudron G3 aircraft twice under the bridge's arches.
