Pont des Invalides is a bridge across the River Seine in Paris. It was built here in 1829 after the initial attempt to build a technologically revolutionary bridge (at the site where Pont Alexandre III now stands) failed.

The 1829 bridge was also demolished and rebuilt in 1854 in time for the 1855 World Fair. This bridge still stands till today, with only minor improvement done to it in the 20th century, such as the expansion of its pavement in 1956.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
