Additional Product Details
The Alexander III bridge in Paris was built between 1896 and 1900 to celebrate the Franco-Russian Alliance of 1892 symbolizing international friendship. Inaugurated for the 1900 World’s Fair, it was named after Tsar Alexander III and laid by his son, Nicholas II. The bridge is renowned for its ornate Art Nouveau lamps, gilded statues, and for connecting the Champs-Élysées with Les Invalides.
