The Lovers’ Bridge

This beautiful bridge is situated at the edge of Lake Annecy. Le Pont des Amours (Lovers’ Bridge) is found at the mouth of the Vassé canal. It links the Jardins de l'Europe (Europe gardens) to the Pâquier. Built at the beginning of the 20th century, this little iron bridge designed by Charles Galletto marks the mouth of the lake inside the city.

“If a couple kisses on the middle of the bridge, they will be united for life.”

The name of  “The Lovers’ Bridge”,  related with the background of the  former occupation which based on it; it was the place where to meet sex workers. Still the bridge is  a place where lovers find themselves loved.
