An interesting structure next to the canal lock. 😄

From a technical standpoint, it is actually two parallel steel bridges, connected only by the raised central strip and supported by a shared pier structure. Each bridge consists of two box girders, the height of which decreases from the pier towards the riverbanks. The current bridge was built between 1974 and 1976 according to the plans of engineers Jean François Coste and Ch. Blanc. The old Zouave of the Pont de l’Alma was then re-erected in front of the pier. It is a stone figure over 5 meters high, depicting the troops of Napoleon III in the Crimean War of 1853–1856. The Zouave figure served as an unofficial high-water mark for the local population, based on the saying, "When the Seine reached their feet, the riverbanks were closed; when it reached their hips..."

Winston Churchill had a close, if often complicated, relationship with Paris and France. Here is one of the most important points of reference regarding his work, his visits, and the commemoration of him—the statue in Paris: There is a remarkable bronze statue of Winston Churchill in Paris. It was created in 1998 by the sculptor Jean Cardot and stands near the Petit Palais on Avenue Winston Churchill in the 8th arrondissement. The statue depicts him in a pose based on a photograph taken on November 11, 1944, when he walked along the Champs-Élysées with Charles de Gaulle.

WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER – we will never give up! – so it is carved in stone on the statue of Sir Winston Churchill. The bronze statue stands near the Petit Palais in the 8th arrondissement.

On the top floor (3rd floor), Eiffel set up a small private apartment. There he received, among others, Thomas Edison. The apartment still exists today and can be viewed through a window.

Since the end of the 19th century, the tip of the Eiffel Tower has risen into the Parisian sky. Now an undisputed national symbol of France, its permanent presence was not originally planned. At the start of the project, the usage rights attached to the construction contract were set at only 20 years. After that, the tower was supposed to be dismantled. Well, it's still standing today. Can we really imagine Paris without the Eiffel Tower?
