Pont de Grenelle

The Grenelle Bridge straddles the Seine between ‘La Maison de Radio-France’ in the 16th arrondissement and the ‘Front du Seine’ neighborhood in the 15th on the site where a wooden bridge stood in 1827.



The wooden bridge was replaced in 1873, then entirely rebuilt to adapt to road and river traffic growth in 1968.


The bridge ends at L’Ile aux Cygnes, Paris’ third island, where Auguste Bartholdi’s "Freedom lights up the world" statue stands. The statue is a miniature reproduction of the Statue of Liberty in New York, a gift from France to the United States.
