▲The '''passerelle Léopold-Sédar-Senghor''', formerly known as '''passerelle Solférino''' (or '''pont de Solférino'''), is a [[footbridge]] over the [[River Seine]] in the [[VIIe7th arrondissement]] of [[Paris]].

==The first bridges==
For a century, it was thea [[cast iron]] bridge inaugurated by [[Napoleon III]] in 1861 which allowed vehicles to cross between [[quai Anatole-France]] and [[quai des Tuileries]]. Built by the engineers of the [[Pont des Invalides]], [[Paul-Martin Gallocher de Lagalisserie]] and [[Jules Savarin]], it was named after the June 1859 French victory of the [[Battle of Solferino]]. Having weakened over time (particularly due to barges crashing into it), it was demolished and replaced in 1961 with a steel footbridge, demolishedwhich inwas its turndemolished in 1992.
 
==The present bridge==

The new ''passerelle de Solférino'' linking the [[Musée d'Orsay]] and the ''[[Jardin des Tuileries]]'' (Tuileries Gardens) was built between 1997 and 1999 under the direction of the engineer and architect [[Marc Mimram]]. Crossing the Seine with a single span and no piers, this metallic bridge is architecturally unique and covered in exotic treeswoods ([[TabebuiaHandroanthus|ipê]]s, a [[Brazil]]ian tree also used for outdoor flooring<ref>{{Cite web|title=Outdoor Flooring|url=https://www.outdoorflooring.org.uk/|access-date=2020-11-15|website=www.outdoorflooring.org.uk}}</ref> at the [[Bibliothèque nationale de France]]) which gives it a light and warm appearance. Its solidity is, however, never in doubt - at either end, its foundations are in the form of concrete pillars extending 15m into the ground, and the structure itself is made up of six 150 tonne components built by the [[Eiffel (company)|Eiffel]] engineering company, ''Eiffel Constructions métalliques''. Its innovative architecture brought Marc Mimram the award "[[Prix de l'Équerre d'Argent]]" for the year 1999.
 
The bridge also has benches and lampposts for promenaders who can reach the [[Jardin des Tuileries]] through a subterranean passage on the [[Rive Droite]].
 
The bridge was renamed after [[Léopold Sédar Senghor]] on 9 October 2006 on the centenary of thishis birth.
