One of the best ways to really appreciate this bridge is from the water. Our smallish cruise boat had to wait for low tide to pass underneath the bridge and pay very close attention to the red/green lights for passage. There, you will find beautiful architecture from 19th century. Swim, float, paddle, use a boat, but dont miss this water view of the bridge.

This is one of Bordeaux’s most historic landmarks commissioned by Napoleon and finished after his death. It is beautiful day or night and lovely to walk across as the tide rushes in or out. The 17 arches are for the the letters in Napoleon’s full name. It’s popular with runners because the traffic is limited.

From french its name measn Stone bridge. Despite that, the bridge is built mainly out of bricks and not stone. It has 17 arches (according to the legend the number of letters in the name Napoléon Bonapartewho issued the construction to help his troops cross the river more quickly when going towards Spain. Connecting the left and right banks of the Garrone, this is the first bridge ever built in Bordeaux. It is used by tram, cars and pedestrians.

You shouldnt miss a breathtaking sunrise over the bridge. Also you can take the boat and have a trip of the river at the price of merely €1.4!

Very beautiful bridge reminiscent of other times ... time travel !!! The movement of the Garon River is impressive. The evening is also very nice and worth a walk exploring Bordeaux by night.

This bridge caught my attention while i was walking near the river. It looked really nice. Its a long walk but i get to enjoy the view and the people who were there as well.You can also see the currents strength of the river and it looks very scary. Viewed from a distance, the autumn leaves adds more beauty especially if seen from an angle.

We cycled over this bridge on our Bordeaux Bike Experience tour. It was worth doing because you get a good view of the waterfront buildings. Allegedly the 17 arches correspond to the number of letters in NAPOLEON BONAPARTE and his Imperial wreath is set between each. Sadly he died the year before its completion in 1822. Theres a tunnel within the bridge for maintenance work and to allow soldiers to pass from one bank to the other undetected. Sadly not open to the public. Maybe Bordeaux Tourist Office are missing a trick?

Beautifully majestic old stone bridge of Bordeaux, and is in alignment with Porte de Bourgogne over the Garrone River. Lovely old bridge from early 1800s and the only bridge until the Pont Saint-Jean bridge was constructed in 1965. I enjoyed walking the whole length of it as it takes you from the left bank (Cours Victor Hugoto the right bank (Avenue Thiers), quartier de la Bastille, across the Garrone River. And best of all, no vehicles except for the tram and emergency vehicles. Highly recommended to explore and feel its impressive history. A great place to "promenade"!

Better in the evening, with all the lights. It is curious, but the persons walk only on one side of the bridge, although permitted on both.

This was another mandatory stop during our visit to Bordeaux. We walked it back and forth a couple of times just to look and take pictures around. Great photo opportunities and a good walking location. It was closed for vehicles during my visit but bikes and pedestrians were allowed to go through.
