Bridge Marie, "Pont Marie"

The bridge Marie makes the object of a classification in conformance with historic monuments since February 10th, 1887. Constructed from 1614 till 1635. This building dates the XXVIIè century, what makes it one of the oldest bridges of Paris. Realized to follow the urbanization of the island Saint-Louis, its construction spreads out over 20 years, since 1614 until 1635. By that time, it is opened to the traffic. Fifty houses are then built on the bridge by the carpenter Claude Dublet.
In 1658, the Seine in flood takes both south arcs with twenty houses which surmount them. In 1660, a wooden bridge restores the traffic.
The stone construction begins only in 1677 after the intervention of Colbert. In 1769, any construction of house on bridges is forbidden.
