The Pont de la Concorde is a bridge over the Seine in Paris, France. It connects the Place de la Concorde and the Quai des Tuileries with the Quai d'Orsay and runs exactly to the Palais Bourbon, the seat of the Assemblée Nationale, the French National Assembly.

During the planning phase, it was called Pont Louis XV, then successively Pont Louis XVI, Pont de la Revolution, Pont de la Concorde, during the restoration again Pont Louis XVI and finally since 1830 Pont de la Concorde.

The Pont de la Concorde is one of the busiest bridges in Paris, apart from the bridges in the course of the Boulevard périphérique.

The 153 m long bridge consists of five segmental arches with spans of 25 m, 28 m, 31 m, 28 m and 25 m. The stone arch bridge planned by Jean-Rodolphe Perronet and executed under his direction was originally 15 m wide. In 1931-1932, Henri Lang extended it to 35 meters by adding a row of arched concrete arches with exactly the same profile on both sides, which were given an old-style outer cladding. The cultivation is still recognizable when you look just above the water surface diagonally through an arch and the opening there between the pillars of the old and the new bow. The largest arch is 1.30 m thick in the vertex. The bridge deck, which is very flat over its entire length, is divided into three lanes in both directions, a cycle path and two very wide walkways bordered by stone balustrades. The three-meter-high pillars are founded on piles, the extensions on caissons.

A bridge that overlooks the National Assembly. Now equipped with a cycle path (temporary at the time of this writing).

The bridge connects the two banks of the River Seine and offers a fantastic view of the city, especially at night.

But the Pont de la Concorde is not only a popular tourist spot, but also a great place to explore Paris by bike. The bridge is part of a larger network of bike routes that will take you to some of the city's top attractions. It's a quick and easy way to explore Paris and see the city from a different perspective.

The Pont de la Concorde also has a long history and importance to Paris. Built in the 18th century, the bridge was one of the first projects to directly connect a bridge to the buildings on either bank. Over the years, the bridge has seen many significant events, including revolutions and wars, but it has also stood as a symbol of connection and progress in Paris.
