The Pont Neuf, which translates to ‘New Bridge’ in French, is paradoxically the oldest existing bridge in Paris, constructed in 1607. Spanning the Seine River and connecting the banks to ÃŽle de la Cité, it was innovative for its time, as one of the first bridges in the city not to have houses lining its sides. This design choice allows visitors today to enjoy unobstructed, sweeping views of the city from its tranquil pedestrian paths.
