Pont Alexandre III: A Triumphal Arch over the Seine in Paris

Spanning the River Seine between the Champs-Élysées and the Invalides, this ornate bridge is adorned with neoclassical sculptures of allegorical figures atop its stone towers featuring winged horses. In the background stands the majestic Grand Palais, an exhibition hall designed for World's Fairs during the Belle Époque era, topped by France's tricolor flag fluttering against a partly cloudy sky.
