What you'll see
A long bridge of seventeen brick and stone arches across the wide Garonne, closed to cars, with views back to the quays and the spires of the old town.
A brief history
Napoleon ordered it built, and it was finished in 1822; it was the first bridge across the river at Bordeaux. Its seventeen arches are said to match the letters of his name, Napoléon Bonaparte.
