Pont Neuf, Toulouse, France
Also known as the "Pink City," Toulouse is the fourth largest city in France. It is located on the banks of the River Garonne, 150 kilometres from the Mediterranean Sea, 230 km from the Atlantic Ocean and 680 km from Paris.
Built in the 16th century, the Pont Neuf ("New Bridge") is a non-symmetrical bridge. Its longest arch is the third one from the left -- as you can see on the photos.
"The openings through the piers were originally supposed to represent the face and mane of a lion. A triumphal archway added in 1686 constricted traffic and was removed in 1860." (Source: Wikipedia)
