The Pont des Invalides is the lowest bridge traversing the Seine in Paris.The story of this bridge started in 1821, when engineer Claude Navier conceived a technologically revolutionary bridge that crossed the Seine in one single reach without any point of support in between.

Due to cracks in some parts of the bridge and gradual settling, the project was abandoned before the bridge even made it into service.In response to complaints from the defenders of the Invalides perspective, the Public Services decided to shift the bridge site upriver.
