I liked the layer of Fall colors leading to the Statue of Liberty. Replica of the Statue of Liberty standing nearly 38 feet on a River Seine island, unveiled in 1889.

FOREGROUD: Le pont Rouelle located in the natural extension of the rue Rouelle and from there it is taken its name. This is only a railway bridge and constructed for the 1900 World Fair.
MIDDLE: Pont de Grenelle. The entry is in the middle of a bridge and on top of the bridge. The name Grenelle Bridge comes from the name of the Grenelle plain that was accessible through this bridge. Grenelle was a town in the Seine department in 1830, before it became a part of Paris's 15th arrondissement in 1860.
On 18 June 2016, the bridge was renamed the "Pont de Grenelle-Cadets-de-Saumur" to honor the students of the Cavalry School who defended the Loire region in the Battle of Saumur that took place in June 1940.

TOP bridge: Hard to believe how old some of the bridges are and that they are still usable. What's the old saying, "They just don't build things like they used to."
Pont Mirabeau. The decision to create a new bridge to the right of the junction created by avenue de Versailles and rue Mirabeau was taken by the French President Sadi Carnot on 12 January 1893. The bridge was officially opened by the then French President Félix Faure at a ceremony conducted on 13 July 1897.
At the time of its construction, this was the longest and highest bridge in Paris.
