Pont au Double

The Pont au Double (French pronunciation: [pɔ̃t‿o dubl]) is a bridge over the Seine in Paris, France.

The bridge links the 4th and 5th arrondissements of Paris, from the Île de la Cité to the quai de Montebello.

In 1515, Francis I was asked to build a bridge over the small branch of the Seine in order to carry patients to the Hôtel-Dieu hospital on the Île de la Cité.

The Pont au Double derives its name from the toll amount which was charged, a "double" denier, money used to pay for the construction of the bridge.

In 1883, the Pont au Double was replaced by a one arch cast-iron bridge.
