Ok, I apologize if I have already posted this question in the past, I don't remember. But you know the bridge in "Something's gotta give" with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton where they meet up on the bridge in Paris at the end of the movie? What's the name of that bridge or are there many bridges like that? I'd love to visit that particular bridge. Anyone know?

I believe it was the Pont Louis Alexander.

I meant “Pont Alexander III”.

Really? Good to know! Being a movie buff, we will have to make a visit. Thanks a lot!!

I've always thought it was Pont Neuf, non?

Jean

Pont Neuf has an iron railing and simple lampposts.

Pont Alexander III has a stone railing and those big, ornate lampposts with cherubs and nymphs. Very art deco.

I haven't seen the movie in a long time, but I too think it was Pont Neuf.

Pont Neuf doesn't have iron railings. It has stone railings as well.

OTOH, Pont des Arts is the one that has iron railings (and wood planks), pedestrians only.

Oh, well. At least I remembered the lampposts.

I thought it was the Pont d'Arcole between Notre Dame and Hotel de Ville. Where is Beatchick when we really need a movie site authority?

Who cares what bridge it is? It's in Paris! That's the best thing.

I think it is the Pont de Tournelle

You see some of it in "Everyone says I love you."

I agree with Laidback. Think it's the Pont d'Arcole.

Thanks Scarlett for clearing that up. Sometimes my age ravaged memory still kicks in.

I think your will find that Laidback's "age ravaged memory" is in excellent shape!!

pont alexander III is about 2-3 miles from colbert up around the bend in the seine where they park the tourist sight seeing boats. pont de artes is too narrow. pont nuef is about 2500 ft. from the colbert and is a 2 part bridge. it crosses the seine from the north side to the island where the hospital and notre dame is then to the south side of the seine.
