Passerelle Debilly is the footbridge immediately to the north of Pont d'Iéna, the bridge in front of the Eiffel Tower. It connects quai de New York on one end to quai Branly on the other.

Passerelle Debilly was built in 1900 for the anticipated pedestrian traffic for the 1900 World's Fair. It was designed by Jean Résal, the same designer of the Pont Alexandre III and the Viaduc d'Austerlitz.

Passerelle Debilly is made of metal, with two stone piers at either ends. It is finsihed with dark green ceramic tiles to create the appearance of waves. Passerelle Debilly was included in a supplementary registry of historical monuments of Paris in 1966.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
