Odd News – The bridge

The bridge

Each pier of the 1901 bridge is topped by a majestic candelabra. On its base, three griffins sculpted by Emmanuel Frémiet hold a shield decorated with the initials SL for Saint Leufroy, patron saint of Suresnes. Below, a large coat of arms bears the insignia of the City of Paris, which helped finance the widening of the structure.
