The Alexandre III Bridge is one of the most iconic bridges in Paris, France. Inaugurated during the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1900, it spans the Seine and connects the Invalides and the Grand Palais on the right bank side, to the Champs-Élysées district on the left bank side. The Alexandre III Bridge is distinguished by its elegant architecture and artistic decorations. It is adorned with sculptures, ornate lampposts, golden nymphs and artistic details, representing a Belle Époque aesthetic. The four stone columns that mark the ends of the bridge are topped with bronze statues of Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology.
