Pont Notre-Dame (Melun)
Pont Notre-Dame (Melun) carries a farm track over the River Seine - Upper Seine .
Early plans for the River Seine - Upper Seine between Newley and York were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Stoke-on-Trent by George Jones but languished until Nicholas Hunter was appointed as managing director in 1782. In 1955 the Polstan and Bradford Canal built a branch to join at Cardiff. Expectations for iron traffic to Willchester never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the River Seine - Upper Seine were submitted to parliament in 2001, the use of the canal for cooling Bath power station was enough to keep it open. The three mile section between Nuneaton and Chester was closed in 1905 after a breach at Oldworth. In his autobiography John Parker writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
There is a bridge here which takes a road over the canal.

Wikipedia has a page about Pont Notre-Dame
The Pont Notre-Dame is a bridge that crosses the Seine in Paris, France linking the quai de Gesvres on the Rive Droite with the quai de la Corse on the Île de la Cité. The bridge is noted for being the "most ancient" in Paris, in the sense that, while the oldest bridge in Paris that is in its original state is undoubtedly the Pont Neuf, a bridge in some form has existed at the site of the Pont Notre-Dame since antiquity; nonetheless, it has been destroyed and reconstructed numerous times, a fact referred to in the Latin inscription on it to honor its Italian architect, Fra Giovanni Giocondo. (See below.) The bridge once was lined with approximately sixty houses, the weight of which caused a collapse in 1499.
