Pont de Bir-Hakeim

Bir-Hakeim bridge is an exceptional alternative to Trocadéro—notably as a rain contingency for live events or when too many tourists or construction obstruct the latter.

Thanks to its distinctive and instantly recognizable architecture, the bridge offers fantastic photo variety. Delivering more nuanced views of the Iron Lady, Bir-Hakeim continues to be a popular setting for many blockbuster movies.

When you’re looking for a solid Eiffel Tower alternative to Trocadéro or a different perspective to double as a rain solution, Pont de Bir-Hakeim is hard to beat. We’re big fans of its extraordinary architecture and endless photo variety.

The Bir-Hakeim bridge looks incredible in the evening—notably during the magical Blue Hour. The bridge is one of few very well-lit photo locations.

Note

Bir-Hakeim is not necessarily kid-friendly, considering its heavy traffic (except for the little island situated in the middle of the bridge).
