皮埃尔桥,波尔多,法国(Pont de pierre, Bordeaux, France)
这座横跨法国波尔多加龙河的石桥自1822年落成以来,一直是这座城市的有力象征。这座历史悠久的桥梁由拿破仑一世委托,由工程师德尚和比拉德尔设计,是连接两岸的第一座桥梁。它的17个雄伟的拱门坐落在16个桥墩上,长486米,展示了当时的独创性。它最初在开放时被命名为“路易十八桥”,很快被波尔多人民采用为“皮埃尔桥”,意思是“石桥”,可能是由于其坚固的结构。

The stone bridge that spans the Garonne River in Bordeaux, France, has been a powerful symbol of the city since its inauguration in 1822. Commissioned by Napoleon I and designed by engineers Deschamps and Billaudel, this historic bridge was the first to connect both banks. With its 17 majestic arches resting on 16 piers, it measures 486 metres in length and showcases the ingenuity of its time. Initially named 'Pont Louis XVIII' upon its opening, it was quickly adopted by the people of Bordeaux as the 'Pont de Pierre,' meaning 'stone bridge,' likely due to its sturdy construction.
