Which Paris bridge is this?

I think that it is the pont Alexndre III, but can't find any confirming information:

Does anyone know?

Thanks.

If it is not a bridge, where is it? The next photos are of the Grand and Petit Palais, and it is the first one I took in Paris this year.

That isn't really a bridge - it's the Place de la Concorde, but the Pont de la Concorde is adjacent. I don't think it's much of a bridge. I spent a lot of time in May photographing the Pont Alexandre III (the next bridge down the Seine) and have some pictures like the one you posted of Place de la Concorde as well. If it were an interesting bridge, I would have far more pictures of it than I do.

Andrew,

You're right. That's what I finally figured out.

I haven't posted any pics in this thread - but thanks! Actually, I'm still plowing through my pictures from my May trip (including Paris, Luxembourg, and Belgium), and my Paris pics are rather disappointing. I can only blame the weather to a certain extent, but it was overcast or raining much of the time with only occasional sun breaks.

The Petit Palais is well worth a visit.
