Pont de Pierre is a magnificent piece of engineering. I enjoyed walking across the bridge in the late afternoon in April 2013. I was lucky enough to see a barge float underneath the bridge carrying components to Toulouse for another Airbus A380.

Built to service the armies of france going south the bridge has a number of arches the same as the number of letters in the name of the leader who commissioned it's building,it is impressive and worth a walk over the river or a trip on the tram

You've got a very nice view of the quays and the two Bordeaux from there, the bridge is quite impressive and it is located near the Porte de Bourgogne, an active place of the city.

After having done my research on TA before visiting Bordeaux, it seemed as though Pont de Pierre would be a definite highlight...not to be. I have had the privilege of visiting many French cities and they all have very similar bridges in terms of architectural style so nothing new here. Yes, it is pretty to see at night. But I've...

We walked across this bridge our first night to get to the Cafe la Porte (terrific food) - in the pouring rain!! As we looked back at the bridge from the restaurant (the rain had stopped, of course), we noticed how beautiful the bridge was in the evening with its distinctive lighting!

This magnificent bridge for road, pedestrian and tram users is a sight to behold especially at dusk and later. The ornate lighting creates a magical effect.

Wide and interesting bridge that isn't as old as you might think. Walking across the bridge offers you a great view of the city.

Be careful walking across, but when in the center look at the city and see the sky line of the various buildings. The bridge is also good to look at during the late night hours with the lights.
