The Pont Neuf, French for 'New Bridge' (a.k.a. Pont de Pierre and Grand Pont), is a 16th-century bridge in Toulouse, in the South of France. Original planning for the bridge started in 1542 by the assembly of a committee of master masons and carpenters. Note that the bridge, which is free to access at all times, is also known as the Pont de Pierre and the Grand Pont. Despite dating back to the 1500s, Pont Neuf is French for New Bridge, so-called for its comparison to an older bridge that once stood beside it. The Pont Neuf crosses the Garonne River in the downtown district of Toulouse.

Pont Neuf Translation

Neuf

The bridge is not symmetrical; the longest arch is the third from the right-hand bank. The openings through the piers were originally supposed to represent the face and mane of a lion.[1] A triumphal archway added in 1686 constricted traffic and was removed in 1860.[1]

It is 220m long[citation needed], and has 7 arches.
