Pont Louis-Philippe
This bridge links the Ile Saint Louis with the Quai de l’Hotel de Ville on the right bank. King Louis-Philippe laid the first stone in July of 1833.
| During the Revolution of 1848, the bridge was partially destroyed by fire. Rebuilt, it was known as the “Pont de la Réforme” - the Bridge of Reform - for some time afterward. Deemed too narrow for the ever-increasing traffic it carried, it was completely razed in 1860 and replaced two years later with a stone bridge. Bull’s-eye windows set into the tympana allow light into the bridge’s interior galleries. |
| While the Pont Louis-Philippe’s parapets were replaced in 1995, the bridge has not required any major structural renovation since 1862. |
