Pont Louis Philippe is a bridge across the River Seine in Paris. It connects the Île Saint-Louis at quai de Bourbon to Saint-Gervais on the Right Bank.

The Pont Louis Philippe dates back to a suspension bridge built here and opened to traffic in 1834. The bridge was torn down during the French Revolution of 1848, after which another bridge called Pont de la Réforme stood there until 1852.

The present Pont Louis Philippe was completed in 1860. Except for the stone guard rails which were replaced in 1995, much of the bridge is today as it was when completed.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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