Tuesday Take on the Tower: From Pont Alexandre III – Classic View of the Iron Lady.

Today's viewpoint: Pont Alexandre III (8e/7e), the most elaborate bridge in Paris, looking toward the Eiffel Tower. The bridge's Art Nouveau lampposts with gilded cherubs and glass globes stand in the foreground, their bronze details catching the light. The Eiffel rises tall in the distance, its full iron lattice visible against the blue sky, with the Seine flowing below and the opposite bank's buildings lining the horizon.

From Pont Alexandre III bridge, one of the most iconic and accessible spots to photograph the Tower, no ticket needed, just a walk across the bridge from the Invalides side or Champs-Élysées. In clear weather like this, the perspective makes the Tower feel closer and more dramatic.

Bon mardi !🗼
