Pont Neuf in Paris

You're standing at the Pont Neuf, the 'New Bridge'. Funnily enough, it's the oldest bridge across the Seine in Paris. It isn't one long bridge, but two sections. Five arches run from the Left Bank to the tip of the Île de la Cité, and seven more carry on to the Right Bank. Notice how the two halves meet at a slight angle? One of the builders argued it would stand up better to the current that way.
