Currently, from four statues on the bridge, only the figure of Zuaba has been preserved. The rest were taken outside of Paris: for example, the "Infantryman" stands in the Vensene Forte Gravel. Having received a refusal to exhibit your cloths at the official salon, the artist Edward Mana has built Barack to exponentially at the Alma Bridge.

An excerpt characterizing the Alma Bridge
"Mais, Mon Cher, [But, my dear," I did it for myself, for my conscience, and there is nothing to thank me. Nobody complained that he was too loved; And then, you are free, even throw tomorrow. So you will see everything in St. Petersburg. And it's time for you to retire from these terrible memories. - Prince Vasily sighed. - So, my soul. And my valet is driving in your carriage. Oh yeah, I was and forgotten, "the prince of Vasily added, - you know, Mon Cher, that we had scores with the deceased, so I got and leave with Ryazansky: you don't need. We will tear up with you.The fact that Prince Vasily called with Ryazansky, there were several thousand long-term prince, which Prince Vasily left him.
In St. Petersburg, as well as in Moscow, the atmosphere of gentle, loving people surrounded Pierre. He could not refuse to place or, rather, the title (because he did nothing), which he delivered him the prince of Vasily, and dating, calls and public classes was so much that Pierre was even more than in Moscow, he had a sense of delicacy And everything coming, but not accomplished by some kind of good.
From its former idle society, many were not in St. Petersburg. Guard went hike. Shelokhov was demolished, Anatol was in the army, in the province, Prince Andrei was abroad, and therefore Pierre did not manage to spend the nights, as he first loved to spend them nor to remove the soul in a friendly conversation with a senior respected friend. All the time he was held on dinners, balas and mostly at Prince Vasily - in the society of Tolstoy Princess, his wife, and the beauties of Helen.
Anna Pavlovna Shersher, as well as others, showed Pierre to the change, which occurred in a public look at him.
Before Pierre in the presence of Anna Pavlovna constantly felt that what he says is indecently tactless, not what you need; What speeches him, seemingly smart while he prepares them in his imagination, are made in stupid, as soon as he will say loudly, and that, on the contrary, the most stupid speeches of the Hippolyte go smart and cute. Now everything he said, everything came out Charmant [charming]. If even Anna Pavlovna did not tell it, he saw that she wanted to say it, and she was only in respect of his modesty, refrained from it.
At the beginning of winter from 1805 to 1806, Pierre received from Anna Pavlovna a regular pink note with an invitation in which it was added: "Vous Trouverez Chez Moi La Belle Helene, QU" On Ne Se Lasse Jamais De Voir ". [I will have a lovely helen on which you never get tired to admire.]
Reading this place, Pierre felt for the first time that there was some connection between him and helen, and this thought at the same time and frightened him, as if an obligation was imposed on him, which he could not keep And together, I liked how a funny assumption.
Anna Pavlovna evening was the same as the first, only the novelty, who had sought Anna Pavlovna his guests, was now not a matememer, but a diplomat who came from Berlin and brought the most recent details about the stay of Alexander's sovereign in Potsdam and about how two are the highest A friend swore there in an inseparable union to defend the right thing against the enemy of the human race. Pierre was accepted by Anna Pavlovna with a shade of sadness, apparently, apparently to the fresh loss, comprehended by a young man, to the death of a crafy of shuffle (everyone was constantly considered a duty to assure Pierre, that he was very sad with the death of the Father, whom he almost did not know) - and sadness Exactly the same as that of the highest sadness, which was expressed at mentioning about the August Empress Mary Feodorovna. Pierre felt herself with this. Anna Pavlovna with his usual art arranged a mug of his living room. Large circle, where Prince Vasily and Generally, enjoyed the diplomat. Another circle was near the tea table. Pierre wanted to join the first, but Anna Pavlovna, who was in the irritated state of the commander on the battlefield, when thousands of new brilliant thoughts come, who barely have to put in perfume, Anna Pavlovna, seeing Pierre, touched his finger for the sleeve.
The Alma Bridge in Paris built in the middle of the XIX century in honor of the victory of the French troops over the army of the Russian Empire in the Almian battle during the Crimean War. For a long time, he was an ordinary car bridge that does not attract special attention of tourists. The design has acquired a sad fame after a tunnel died in a tunnel in a car driver Diana. Today, the Alma Fans of Lady Dee from all over the world come to the Alma Bridge. In the place of the death of the English princess, there are always live flowers, and the walls around it are written by confessions in love in her address.
The history of the appearance and appearance of the bridge
The death of Princess Diana on the last day of the summer of 1997 shocked the whole world. The death of a nationwide favorite became a personal tragedy for tens of millions of people, and the bridge, at the entrance to which the bloody accident occurred, turned into a place of pilgrimage of tourists. What is the Alma Bridge, which played in the life of Lady di fat role? The history of the 153-meter arched construction begins in 1854, when the Emperor of France, Napoleon III, in honor of the victory of the French, in honor of the victory of the French for Russian troops, gave an order to embed a new bridge across Seine. The construction of the structure was completed in 1856. It received its name in honor of the Alma Square located close to it. Initially, the length of the bridge was about 75 m, but in 1900 it became 2 times longer due to a pedestrian road attached to him.

Ask a question expertThe heads of the bridge at which the death of Princess Diana took place, they used to decorate the statues of the soldiers of the French army, namely the infantry, the Grenader, Zuawa and Artilleryman. According to these figures, the Parisian was determined by the water level in the Seine. If she concerned the ankle statues, passers-by forbidden to be near the river. If the water reached the level of the hips of the military, it meant that the Sena River in Paris can get out of the banks at any time. In such situations, river shipping was temporarily suspended.
In the 70s of the last century, the metropolitan authorities subjected the bridge of a solid reconstruction, as a result of which it was expanded and completely updated. Of the 4 statues, urban planners decided to leave only the figure of Zuaba. With its help, the Parisians still determine the water level in the Seine.
Some tourists are confident that Alma is located near the Bridge, however, they are mistaken. The French capital really decorates several copies of this monument, but none of them is set near the bridge under consideration. The largest statue of freedom in Paris, presented by the French American diaspora in 1889, stands on the Swan Island. Its height is 11.5 m. Copies are smaller today decorate the OSA art gallery and the Museum of Science and Arts. But it is impossible to say that the bridge has nothing to do with the legendary statue, since in 1989, at the entrance, a sculptural composition called "Freedom Freedom" was placed on him. She exactly reproduces the fire of the torch of the Freedom Statue in New York.
Palace Versailles
For incomprehensible reasons, tourists visiting Paris pin down to the monument of flowers, believing that it was installed on the spot where Princess Diana died, although in fact she crashed in a tunnel located right under it.
Below you can see entry into the tunnel (under the Alma Bridge), where, in fact, everything happened.
The fatal incident in the tunnel at the entrance to the bridge
The former wife of Prince Charles Diana and her groom Dodi Al-Faid died as a result of a catastrophe that occurred on August 31, 1997. The car in which they were lovers, got into a deadly accident in the tunnel under the Alma Bridge. Dodi al-Fayed and the driver of the car died instantly. The death of Princess Diana stepped 2 hours after the accident. Today there are several versions trying to explain the cause of the catastrophe on the Alma Bridge. According to experts, the death of Lady Di could occur due to:
- persecution of paparazzi, which outbreaks of their photo lens were blinded by the driver of the princess;
- alcoholic intoxication of the driver;
- revenge of the English Queen of its former daughter-in-law.
The photo on which the correspondents captured the place of the death of the princess Diana, during several hours she had the whole world. Parisians and guests of the city began to come to the Alma Bridge to impose flowers to the place of accident. Since the death of the English princess, almost 20 years have passed, but the crowds of people who want to honor her memory are still on the bridge. The parapet of the tunnel was keen by verses and recognition in the love of the princess Welly, and near the flame of freedom, installed near the place of the tragedy, even in winter there are live flowers.

The Alma Square is obliged exclusively to the Wales Diana princess. We will try to bypass the side, as far as possible, that sad story, and tell about the history of the square, its names and attractions.
To the first Paris World Exhibition of 1855, held on the Champs Elysees, a bridge was built, which was now extremely respectable 8th with an equally respectable 7th district of Paris. Napoleon III called the Alma Bridge, in honor of the victory of the French, the Turks and the British over Russians in the battle at the River Alma in the Crimean War.
It is before that battle one of our military managers first told his native: "We will throw the heads with the caps." In the English paintings Alma is full of the same way, it is almost like a hay, but now it's just a dirty stream - everything mines.
The choice of the name for the bridge and, for the company, the square is not surprising, because Napoleon III was very proud of the victory in the Crimean War (at first Nikolai I was offended by him, saying that, they say, the first Napoleon was dug, and you come in). The bridge was picked by the victory of the French weapons, and under his supports stood sculptures of representatives of the delivery of troops: the infantryman, artilleryman, Grenador and Zuab (Zuyava - Infantry, who stacked from North Africans). Zuyuvi used to measure the water level in the Seine: each part of his body hidden under water launched those or other flooding procedures in the municipality, so the thigh of Zuawa, hiding in the water, closed the river navigation. In 1970, the bridge was rebuilt, Zuawa was raised above over the water, and his arms comrades were sent to Wensen, and who to Dijon.
The bridge gave the name of the square, and then the tunnel. Above the departure from the ill-fated tunnel is a beautiful monument - this is a flame of freedom.
In 1886, the French presented the Americans the famous New York Statue of Freedom. Since then, grateful Americans give freedom back with reduced copies and pieces. First presented a copy of the statue on a scale of 1: 5, installed on the Arrow of the Swan Island, and then the newspaper International Gerald Tribune (Eng. International Herald Tribune) gave Paris a copy of the flame of the torch. It was like this: this English-language newspaper, founded in 1887 in Paris, decided to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the release of the first issue and announced the collection of donations to collect finances on the construction of the monument. After 2 years in 1989, Jacques Chirac, at the time Paris mayor, ...
... Opened on the Alma Square, the monument personifies both the friendship of France and the United States, and at the same time the principles of freedom at all and freedom of the press in particular, laid down in the basics of the statehood of the two countries.
The monument is an accurate copy of the flame of the New York statue in its present form. The old torch is transparent, highlighted from the inside and was pretty scary (it can be viewed at the Museum of the Statue on the Island of Freedom in New York), and the new one is gilded and highlights outside. It must be admitted that the monument was made very harmonious, filled with meaning and in general extremely successful.
The life of the monument to coolly changed the accident, which occurred in the tunnel under him on August 31, 1997, which passed the lives of Princess Diana and Mr. Al-Faped. The English investigation has shown that their driver was drunk, exceeded the speed halve, plus no one was fastened - all the driver-passenger defects are evident. One way or another, in the hysterical posthumous explosion of world love for Lady Di, a monument "Freedom Freedom" began to be perceived by the inhabitants as a monument to Diana. The municipalists constantly trampled the photos and messages of the princess, glued to the pedestal until the enthusiasm of the masses did not go to the decline. Paris City Hall even wanted to rename Alma's Square to Princess Square Diana, but the idea met the active resistance of the English monarch, and had to refuse this spectacular step.
The Alma Bridge in Paris was first built during the reign of Napoleon III.
However, it was completely reconstructed in the 1970s, and only one original statue remains today on this bridge through Seine.
We always remember that near the Alma Bridge in Paris, Princess Diana lost her life.
A bit of history
The first bridge called French Pont d'Alma was built between 1854 and 1856.
He was named after the first victory of the emperor during the Crimean War in September 1854.
Bridge at that time had three elliptical arches and four stone berths with waterproofs, each of which was decorated with a statue.
Three of them were later delivered to various places in France, and only a statue called Zuv, remains today.
Nevertheless, by 1960 the bridge was considered too narrow for the volume of traffic and river transport, which meant the decision to replace the entire bridge adopted in June 1963.
Engineers and architects were chosen, however, the work on the replacement of the bridge did not start until May 1970.
It was decided that there would be only one single pier to make the river navigation easier for different boats. In addition to this, the base of the bridge should have been lowered down to a depth of 40 meters to avoid problems with settlement, which reached the incredible 80 centimeters by 1960.
Ultimately, the new Alma Bridge in Paris was completed in 1974.
About Bridge Alma.
You will find that the bridge has long smooth bends on both sides of one pier and one Solid Statue of Zuaba, which remained since the original bridge in Paris.
And it is this statue that is used as a measuring reference point when water rises in the Seine. When water reaches the legs of the statue - this is nothing, because In the worst version in 1910 she reached shoulders.
However, the French Civil Service actually use the Tournelle Bridge as an official guidance on flooding levels on the river.
The Alma Bridge across the South River is probably the most recognizable because of his name and the tragedy, which occurred in the neighboring tunnel in 1997, when Princess Diana died in a car accident.
And today, at the northern end of the bridge there is a sculpture, which is called Freedom Flame, which has become an unofficial monument to Diana, where wreaths and flowers are still located.
It should be noted that a really sculpture has nothing to do with the tragic events.
Photo and description
The Alma Bridge is known primarily by the fact that the princess Diana died in the tunnel under him. On the night of August 31, 1997, the Princess with his friend Dodi al-Fame came out of the Ric Hotel to meet death. Ten minutes, the car, which was carved from the motorcycle paparazzi at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, crashed into the tunnel support.
People crowds went to the place of tragedy to honor the memory of the princess. Above the tunnel, at the entrance to the bridge, there is a flame of freedom - the gold-plated replica of the torch of the statue of freedom, a gift of America France, a sign of friendship of two countries. It was here that people began to fold the mountains of flowers.
Now many people think that the torch is a monument to Diana. Perhaps it is a little offended by France, and America. (Mary of Paris offends - it is necessary to remove graffiti, clean the bouquets, follow the safety of sculpture.) In any case, in 2008 a new flame of freedom was established in the courtyard of the US Embassy in France. Jean Cardo's sculpture was opened in the presence of Nicolas Sarkozy and George Bush's presidents.
However, the Alma Bridge is not only interesting because of the tragedy flewing under it. Opened in 1856, he was named after the victory of the Franco-British coalition over Russian troops in the battle on the Almo River - the first large battle of the Crimean War.
With four sides, under the bridge stood sculptures of the military who participated in the battle on Alma - Zuaba (soldier of the French colonial troops), Grenadle, infantry and artilleryman. After the reconstruction of the 1970s, only Zuaven remained, the rest of the statues are now in other places. It was impossible to remove Zuaba - this is a legendary for Parisian a figure: it was precisely the water level in the Seine. If the water covered the feet of Zuaba, the police overlap the passage to the river, and if the water reached the hip, stopped navigation. During the famous flood, which happened in Paris in January 1910, the water reached the shoulders of Zuaba! The flood lasted for about two months, the city was flooded in such a way that it was possible only to float. Water rose 8.6 meters. A lot of photos remained: people float in Paris on boats, go streets on homemade narrow packers. There is a photograph of Zuawa peeking out of the water.
Now, another bridge is used to officially determine the water level in the Seine, but the Parisians know that the easiest to look at Zuaba under the Alma Bridge.
