In the middle of the 16th century, there were only four bridges in Paris, the Petit Pont, Pont Notre-Dame, Pont Saint-Michel and Pont au Change. The construction of another - new - bridge, which was to connect the Louvre with the emerging from the abbey of St. Germain des Prés market towns, became more urgent, since the extensive metropolitan traffic had already caused great damage to the existing bridges, which also were completely built with houses.

Already in 1556 King Henry II had envisaged the construction of a new bridge, but his plan failed for a long time because of the resistance of the Parisian merchants. Only more than twenty years later, on the evening of May 31, 1578, King Henry III. the foundation stone for the fifth bridge in Paris, whose essential feature was that there should be no houses and shops on it. One should therefore transcend them and at the same time be able to see the Seine flowing under it. This had not happened in Paris yet and was met with rejection by the Paris merchants, who mourned the unused salesroom on the bridge.

The bridge, an asymmetric combination of round arches, was designed by Baptiste Androuet du Cerceau. Their spans, which were between 9 and 19 meters, varied in comparison to each other as well as in the upstream and downstream sides of the same arc.

The bridge was finally completed after almost thirty years of construction in the reign of King Henry IV. Even in the just completed two years later Pont Henri IV in Châtellerault and the only 25 years later finished Pont Neuf in Toulouse, no development was allowed despite similar breadth.
