Then the individual bridge is named again on another satellite map at the opening of the section for that specific bridge. Vital statistics are included: when the first bridge in this location was built, when the current bridge was opened, the length, width, how many arches, and what the bridge is used for -pedestrians and/or traffic and a brief history.

Each one of Bristol’s bridges, from oldest to newest, has a fascinating story which is woven intimately into the 1,000-year history of the city. Why was it built? What was involved in its design, engineering and construction? What dramatic events sometimes swirled around and perhaps on it? Michael and his wife spent a year in Paris learning French and exploring the different sets of bridges (there are over 300!) As a result, he was able to showcase the bridges during different times of the day and seasons. In case you can't tell, I've highly enjoyed this book, and imagine I will continue to do so.

Author Jeff Lucas said: “In everyday life we rarely pay attention to bridges, but they are vital to human society and its history". I've never traveled outside my little Southern world, and most of the time I'm okay with that. I'm baffled how planes stay in the sky, and I'm terrified of them. Why on earth would I want to get on one?! ;) Every once in awhile, though, I get the urge to travel out of my little cocoon and see the world. Bridges of Paris gave me that urge. It made me dream of seeing the beauty up close and in person one day. As I was admiring the book one night, my husband asked me what I was doing. "Dreaming of traveling one day." In the meantime, though, I've been enjoying looking through this gorgeous book, and learning more about each of the bridges. Klinger, Ron; collab Pat Husband & Andrew Kambites (1994). Basic Bridge.
