Floods, fires... It took overcoming numerous problems to build the Pont Royal, one of the oldest bridges in Paris still standing.

If you’re travelling from the Tuileries Garden to the Orsay Museum, your route naturally takes you across the Pont Royal, one of Paris’ oldest bridges still standing.

Long before its construction, there were several attempts to connect the two banks of the Seine at this spot. In those days, only the bac des Tuileries, a modest boat, could ferry people from the Right Bank to the Left Bank of the Seine. The Rue du Bac still carries that name today.

In the 17th century, a succession of wooden structures took shape, including the Pont Rouge, nicknamed for its color. Fragile in the face of fires, floods and ice jams, these early bridges didn’t last long against the Seine’s caprices!

Louis XIV ultimately decides to replace these makeshift structures with a stone bridge. The Royal Bridge project kicks off in 1685, based on the plans of Frère François Romain, with Jacques IV Gabriel and Jules Hardouin-Mansart steering the endeavor. Completed and inaugurated in 1689, the bridge features five arches and finally links the Louvre and Tuileries area more directly to the Left Bank.

Despite its prestigious name, the Pont Royal carries a relatively austere architecture. Its stone arches and triangular cutwaters give it that classic silhouette it still largely retains today. It is, moreover, one of Paris' oldest bridges that has best preserved its original look.

As with many Parisian monuments, its name shifted with the political winds. During the French Revolution, it became Pont National, then was renamed Pont des Tuileries under the First Empire, before returning to Pont Royal at the Restoration!

Since 1939, this Parisian bridge, which has lived through a turbulent history, has been listed as a historic monument. To set foot on it is to step back into a substantial chapter of Paris's history!
