"I VISITED THIS PLACE"...
... as a return visit from October 2019. I visited because it is famous and has a history. I crossed from the Grand and Petit palais areas on my way to visit (again) the museum of Les Invalides (see my next review).
I liked crossing, being on and observing, studying, analyzing and photographing 📷 the statues (see my "helpful" 👍 photos 📷, especially of foreign tourists with the bridge as the background.
WAS IT WORTH THE COST
Yes- it is free
WOULD 'I VISIT THIS PLACE" AGAIN?
Probably, but not as a specific destination but as something that I'm passing anyway, between something and something else
ADVICE
* This is certainly worth seeing- walking on it, sailing underneath and looking from the sides of the river
* It gives a good unobstructed view of the Eiffel Tower, especially at night on the hour when it is twinkling- best to stand towards the end of the bridge, on the side that is closest to the Petit Palais ( full disclosure- I didn't stand there on this trip)
