'Paris-Moscou' Longchamp Tour - Pont Alexandre III

Lena Perminova makes a stop-off on Pont Alexandre III, the most extravagant of Paris’ bridges and a commemoration of the friendship between Russia and France. In 1891, French President Sadi Carnot and Tsar Alexander III (1845-1894) signed the Franco-Russian alliance. In 1896, construction began on a bridge to honor this alliance, which would be known as Pont Alexandre III.
