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. There's 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?

Beautiful to watch the small boats go 7nder this old Riman bridge. There are green areas on the both rides of the bridge. Our driver stopped for a photo break fir us.

Great place to take photos from. The bridge is a fantastic structure. You can see the city from so many different angles. My favourite bridge in Bordeaux. When you walk over it you are not far from Darwin another must see.
