Pont de Normandie
A cable-stayed bridge across the Seine estuary. When it opened in 1995, its 856-meter main span was the longest in the world.
The Pont de Normandie links Honfleur on the south bank with Le Havre on the north bank. It is about 2.1 km long, and when it opened in 1995, its 856-meter main span was the longest of any cable-stayed bridge in the world. Its two inverted-Y towers rise about 215 meters, and the deck has a distinct curve. Driving across gives you views of the Seine estuary's wetlands and the port. Vehicles pay a toll, but there are pedestrian and cycle paths on both sides, so you can walk onto the bridge for free to enjoy the scenery. You can also see the bridge from the Vieux Bassin in Honfleur.
