This bridge, depicted in a famous painting by Renoir, is the oldest remaining bridge in Paris.
According to my understanding of French, it is both the New Bridge (as in unused) and the Nine Bridge. Either way, it is a nice structure to cross on foot (includes the western end of the Ile de la Cite) and also an impressive structure to pass under (which I did three or four times on the amazing Batobus. When one goes under this bridge, one can see and photograph (as I did), the massive letter N on the sides.

Really pretty bridge and close to D’orsey and other museums. Worthwhile to get up close and see all the details

The double decker Bir Hakeim bridge is a masterpiece of engineering allowing metro, cars and pedestrians to cross it. The lower level is for cars and pedestrians, while on the upper platform runs the metro. The lower level has several excellent Eiffel tower view points.

Pont du Carrousel is a nice bridge, built in the 19th century, with some history behind it. It joins two sides of the Seine, leading to Place du Carrousel, right outside the Louvre Museum. It is not a very ornate bridge but there are some interesting features at either end of it. Worth a walk.

Passerelle Leopold-Sedar-Senghor is a lovely footbridge over the River Seine. We have walked over it a number of times and so have countless other visitors. It is also a sort of romantic bridge as many couples love to attach padlocks on it. This may have originally been a unique idea but over time the weight of the padlocks has affected the bridge as it has other bridges. Be that as it may walking on the bridge is a terrific way to spend a few minutes taking in the stunning views of the surrounding area.

This bridge is the closest one to Eiffel tower on its west end connecting it with Trocadero. Therefore it's occupied with tourists taking great pics and selfies from there. Excellent close ups can be taken from here, as well the sunset pics you can see.
