Paris after dark - 9

This is the bridge called le pont Neuf in Paris. It spans the Seine at the western end of the île de la Cité and is really two bridges, or at least two sections, one over each branch of the Seine river at that point. This is the section that links the island to the right bank of the river.

Despite its name ("the new bridge") le pont Neuf is the oldest bridge in Paris now. It was built in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Here it is painted by an artist named Canella as it looked in about 1832, thanks to French Wikipédia.
