The Pont Alexandre III is defined by four monumental pillars at its corners, each topped with gilded bronze statues of winged horses known as Fames. Spanning the Seine with a single, low-profile steel arch, the bridge creates a wide, ornate thoroughfare that connects the Champs-Élysées quarter to the area around the Invalides. Its surface is dense with Art Nouveau lamps, nymphs, and cherubs, making it the most decorative river crossing in the city.
