Les Amants du Pont de Bir-Hakeim

The Lovers on the Bridge

No, not really.  

They were posing for a film.

Pont de Bir-Hakeim

Built between 1903 and 1905 this steel bridge has two levels,

 the lower one for vehicles and pedestrians, 

and the upper level (the viaduct) supports Métro Line 6.

The iron sculpture framed by the yellow poplar leaves

is one of four on the main arches of the bridge.  

This one was designed by Jules-Felix Coutan and represents Labor.

This was my first visit to Pont de Bir-Hakeim,

and I will share more photos with you soon.

(Joyeux Anniversaire, Renée!)
