Pont de l’Alma (Alma Bridge)

The Pont de l’Alma, a bridge spanning the River Seine in central Paris, connects the Champs-Élysées area to the Les Invalides monument, the final resting place of Napoleon Bonaparte. Originally constructed to honor the French victory at the Battle of Alma during the Crimean War, the bridge has since become more widely recognized as the site of Princess Diana’s tragic car accident in 1997. Today, visitors can walk across the bridge, taking in views of the river and the city’s iconic landmarks, while also reflecting on its historical and cultural significance.
