Built under Napoleon III, the Alma Bridge derives its name from a French victory in the Crimean War. Opened in 1856 and subsequently rebuilt in the 20th century, this famous Parisian bridge has witnessed nearly two centuries of history.

You can't walk past the Pont de l'Alma without recalling the tragic accident that claimed the life, in 1997, of Princess Diana, in the tunnel near the bridge. Not far away stands the Flame of Liberty, a life-size replica of the Statue of Liberty’s torch in New York.

Gifted to Paris in 1989 on the occasion of the centennial of the International Herald Tribune and as a symbol of the Franco-American friendship, it became after Diana's death a place of mourning for her admirers. Since 2019, the space where it stands has officially been named Place Diana.

But let's return to the story of the Pont de l'Alma. Napoleon III ordered its construction in 1854 to connect the Chaillot and Grenelle districts. Intended for the 1855 World's Fair, the project was delayed by an extraordinary rise in the water levels and was finally inaugurated on April 2, 1856.

Le saviez-vous ? La Flamme de la Liberté au pont de l'Alma n'est pas vraiment dédiée à Lady DianaLe saviez-vous ?

La Flamme de la Liberté au pont de l'Alma n'est pas vraiment dédiée à Lady Diana

Its name is made famous by the bataille de l'Alma, won on September 20, 1854, by French and British troops against the Russian army during the guerre de Crimée. A few years later, in 1858, 4 imposantes statues de soldats were added to crown its pedestals: a Zouave, a Grenadier, a Chasseur à pied and an Artilleryman, representing different corps of the French army involved in the conflict.

From that quartet, only the famous Zouave remains on the Pont de l’Alma today. Having become too narrow and ill-suited for road and river traffic, the old structure was completely replaced between 1970 and 1974. With the new bridge reduced to a single pier in the Seine, the Zouave is the only soldier to return to his post. The other three companions were relocated: the Grenadier to Dijon, the Artilleryman to La Fère, and the Foot Hunter to the edge of the Bois de Vincennes.

Yann Caradec

The Zouave du Pont de l'Alma has also taken on another role in the Parisian imagination: that of the barometer of the Seine's floods. Even before modern measuring tools, Parisians watched the water level rise on his body to gauge the river's advance. During the great flood of 1910, the Seine climbed as high as the soldier's shoulders, and even reached his chin at the peak of the inundation!
