Pont au Double is a bridge across the River Seine in Paris. It links the 4th Arrondissement to the 5th Arrondissement, that is, from Île de la Cité to the quai de Montebello.

The name Pont du Double comes from "double denier", that is the amount in coins to pay as toll to cross the bridge. Of course, this refers to a long, long time ago, in the 17th century. The original Pont du Double bridge was completed in 1634, but it fell down in 1709. The present bridge was built in 1883.

How to reach Pont du Double

Take either the Métro to the Saint-Michael station or the RER train to the Saint-Michael-Notre-Dame station.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
