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.
