May 8th, 2023 - 37 Turned left at Pont de l'Alma, 75008 Paris, France

Paris Sightseeing

Walking along Quai d'Orsay, we turned left at Pont de l'Alma, 75008 Paris, and walked along Pl. de la Resistance until we reached Jean-Michel Halimi - Dentiste, 26 Rue Cognacq Jay, 75007 Paris, France

The Pont de l'Alma (French pronunciation: [pɔ̃ də lalma], English: Alma Bridge) is a road bridge in Paris, France, across the Seine. It was named to commemorate the Battle of Alma during the Crimean War, in which the Ottoman-Franco-British alliance achieved victory over the Russian army in 1854.

I didn't realize it then but the bridge is known for being the site of the car crash that caused the death of Princess Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997.

Walking distance: 550m duration: 8-10 minutes
