Pont de Normandie aperitif board

Commissioned in 1995, its slender silhouette dominates the mouth of the Seine. It is one of the most ambitious works built in France in recent decades. The 214 m high pylons (the size of the Montparnasse Tower!) dominate the estuary. Their foundations sink more than 50 m below the bed of the Seine. They are separated by a central span of 856 m. The 184 stays draw an elegant and photogenic silhouette. To connect one bank to the other, you travel more than 2 km suspended above the water.
