The original Pont des Arts was built in 1804, following nearly three decades after the world's first iron bridge was built over the Severn River in England, an achievement that Napoleon — then only First Consul, with greater ambitions ahead of him — was eager to match.
This bridge had a series of mishaps, including being bombarded in both World Wars and being pummeled by passing river traffic, with serious accidents in 1961 and 1970, with the last straw coming in 1979, when it was hit by a barge and nearly half the structure crashed into the water.

 Berlioz in Paris Institut  France
The building which houses the Institut de France was constructed between 1663 and 1684 through a bequest of Cardinal Mazarin, and was known at first as the Collège Mazarin or Collège des Quatres Nations.
