Completed in 1607 under King Henry IV, Pont Neuf is the oldest standing bridge across the river Seine in Paris. Linking the Left and Right Banks through the western tip of Île de la Cité, it broke medieval tradition as the first Paris stone bridge built without houses lining its span and the first to feature elevated pedestrian sidewalks. The bridge's stone cornices are ornamented with 381 expressive mascarons depicting grotesque faces.
