The Pont au Change is one of the most photogenic bridges in Paris. Thanks to its arched structure, which is supported by only 2 pillars, it looks very easy. The N's on either side are misleading, suggesting that Napoleon Bonaparte did something here. In fact the letter stands for Napoleon III during whose reign this bridge was built.

Built in the mid-1800's, Pont au Change is a lovely bridge with a bit of history. It connects two sides of the Seine. The one side is the area around the Palais de Justice and the Conciergerie, and the opposite side is near the Place du Châtelet. We loved walking over this bridge and the views from it are beautiful.

Pont au Change is a nice bridge over the River Seine.
You can take very good photos from here when the boats are commuting.

This is the bridge where Javert died in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables. Seems like a good bridge for dealing poorly with personal revelations about the unbearable moral complexities of the world. 5 stars.

The Pont au Change is a bridge over the Seine River in Paris. It connects the Île de la Cité from the Palais de Justice and the Conciergerie, to the Right Bank, at the Place du Châtelet.
The Pont au Change gets prime views over the Conciergerie and Place du Châtelet. It is composed of three 31m long arches and is 30m wide.

Stumbled across Pont au Change (though I didn't know it at the time) after coming off the metro on Cite. It's a small bridge that leads you back to the right bank of Paris but it provides a pretty view of the Seine on either side. It's near Saint Chapelle, Conciergerie and Palais de Justice.

Great views of the river! The scenery is just perfect and epitomizes the Paris cliché. I would recommend it to go in the end of the day as you can see the sun go down and you get the a picturesque scene.

It's hard to miss. It's the stone bridge that is marked with the letter "N", or the imperial insignia of Napoléon III. You'll get a great view of it as you're crossing over Pont Notre Dame to get to the right bank. There is a fruit, flower, and vegetable market along the right bank of the river that runs between the two bridges. It's a lovely walk full of beautiful plants and flowers on your way to the Conciergerie.

A fairly plain bridge it is most "famous" as being the bridge that Javert jumped off and committed suicide in Victor Hugo's novel 'Les Miserables'. Constructed during the reign of Napolean III it features large 'N' insignia on each side. Other than that it is a good way to get from Chatelet to the Royal Chateau (Conciergerie, Sainte-Chapelle & Palais de Justice)
