The bridge Alexandre III in Paris
isabel:
One of the most beautiful bridges in Paris has the name of Alexander III, why??
I belive that Nicholas II opened it.
Svetabel:
Yes, that bridge is the most beautiful in Paris. I was fascinated with it more than with the Eiffel ;D.
Nicholas II did opened it.
Belochka:
Pont Alexandre III certainly is the most elegant and ornate bridge which I have ever seen.
It was Nikolai II, his son who laid the foundation stone in 1896, to consolidate the ratification of the Russo-French alliance.
The bridge was opened in 1900 for the World Exposition. I believe that Nikolai II was not present at it's official opening.
Belochka:
I expended almost a full roll of film on the Pont Alexandre III , ensuring I captured its features at street level and from the Seine river cruise.
It was just so magnificent ... ;D
PssMarieAmelie:
It is magnificent. If only I was older so I could go there and view it in all its splendour myself.
