Pont Neuf

Pont Neuf is the oldest bridge in Paris that runs across the Seine.  The bridge was constructed between 1578 and 1607 and is 761 feet long.  In 1994 the bridge was reconstructed and was finished in 2007.  For a long time this was the widest bridge in Paris so it had a lot of traffic and was very popular to travel over.  Walking across this bridge is walking across history!

Take a Trip on the Seine

The Seine is the major river that runs through the city of Paris.  When visiting Paris you should consider taking a boat ride at night on the Seine.  Tickets to go on a boat ride are not expensive and are easy to get.  I reccomend taking the boat ride at night because you get to see everything lit up at night which is beautiful.  The Eiffel Tower is lit up at night and changes color about every fifteen minutes.  The Seine is part of Paris and what better way to see it than to explore it by boat?
