Passerelle Bercy-Tolbiac





I have always loved bridges, and this pedestrian bridge is a beauty! The Passerelle Simone de Beauvoir, Bercy-Tolbiac, located in Paris, connects the National Library of france with the Parc Bercy located across the seine. It was completed in 2006, designed by the architecture and engineering firm RFR. The opposing curve forms overlap in the center to create a covered pedestrian plaza centered on the river.
