The bridges of Paris
Share
Paris has 37 bridges over the Seine.
"Five are open only to pedestrians, two are railway bridges, and two have one level for rail traffic and another for vehicular traffic.
Four connect Île Saint-Louis to one of the riverbanks, eight connect Île de la Cité, and one connects the two islands to each other.
