An unobstructed view of the Seine, with La Défense downstream. From the access on the St Cloud side, you can see the 3 tallest towers in Paris in the background (Eiffel, Montparnasse, Triangle). A peaceful passage, a striking contrast with the other surrounding bridges (Sèvres, St Cloud, Suresnes...) which are inhuman highways. I love it.

The Pont de Bir-Hakeim was built in 1878 and connects the 15th and 16th arrondissements. It serves a dual purpose: a road for traffic and, on top of that, a railway bridge for metro line 6. The bridge for traffic is divided into three sections: a sidewalk, a bicycle path, and a road. All these sections are separated by cast-iron columns. The bridge is 237 meters long and approximately 25 meters wide. The sides of the bridge are decorated with cast-iron ornaments. On a central extension stands a statue from 1930 by the Danish sculptor Wederkinch, a gift from the Danish community in Paris. From here, you have a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower. The bridge literally and figuratively pierces the 16th arrondissement to reach the Passy metro station. The bridge owes its somewhat unusual name to the Battle of Bir-Hakeim. A battle between the French army under General Marie-Pierre Koenig and the German/Italian Afrika Korps under the command of Marshal Rommel. This famous and fierce battle took place in 1942 in Libya near the town of Bir-Hakeim. Incidentally, the bridge only received its name in 1948; previously, it was called the Passy Viaduct and was more of a walkway with trees and benches. This bridge also features in the film "Inception," starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

The Eiffel Tower is considered the symbol of Paris and France, a must-see landmark when visiting the City of Lights. Standing 330 meters tall, the Eiffel Tower has a fascinating history dating back to the late 19th century. Its creator, the engineer Gustave Eiffel, was already famous for his bridges, viaducts, and steel structures before he erected this iconic iron structure. The tower was originally designed as a temporary installation for the 1889 Paris Exposition to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution. The Eiffel Tower is open to visitors daily from 9:30 a.m. to 11:45 p.m. (9:00 a.m. to 12:45 a.m. in July and August). Visitors can explore three levels of the Eiffel Tower: the first floor, the second floor, and the top. The Eiffel Tower is a highlight of Paris.

Lady Diana was in Paris on August 31, 1997, when she died in a car crash. The accident happened in this tunnel. She spent the evening with Dodi Fayed, had dinner at the Ritz Hotel, and left shortly afterward to drive into the Pont de l'Alma tunnel, where the crash occurred. The Flame of Liberty in Paris is a life-size, gold-leaf-covered replica of the torch flame from the Statue of Liberty. The approximately 3.5-meter-high monument is a flame sculpture made of gilded copper, supported by a gray-black marble base. Drive to the Ritz Hotel: They had previously been on vacation in Monte Carlo but cut it short due to the paparazzi and made a stopover in Paris. The memorial is located on Avenue New York.

We then took another walk and spent the rest of the wait in the café. The meeting point was at the South Security Entrance (Entrance No. 1) at 12:00 p.m. It took almost an hour before we could climb the Eiffel Tower. This wait is worse than moving. We climbed the first and second floors. There are 675 steps to the second floor 😅. It was still a bit hazy in the morning, but by midday the weather cleared up and the ☀️ shone brightly until sunset. Including the wait, we were there for about four hours. Viewing Paris from the Eiffel Tower was 😁incredibly beautiful. A visit is highly recommended 👍.

The ferry dock is located on the hiking trail; you can't miss it. The ferry ride to the island 🏝️ BOIS DE BOULOGNE is free. The ferryman appreciates a small tip 😊. A visit to the island of Bois de Boulogne 💙 is highly recommended. Public restrooms are located to the right of the restaurant.
