Enormously photographed by vacationers and used for wedding photos, the “Pont des Amours” (Lovers’ Bridge) is an essential landmark for visitors discovering Annecy. Facing the boats moored along the banks of the Canal du Vassé, sheltered by the surrounding century-old trees, the setting is perfectly romantic, and this bridge is one of the symbols of Annecy. So, why is it known as the “Bridge of Love”? According to legend, if two lovers meet in the center of the bridge and kiss, they will be together forever. Beloved by couples, it is steeped in romance and considered a symbol of eternal love.

History of the Pont des Amours:

• In 1845, the first wooden footbridge was erected for the visit of King Charles-Albert of Savoy. The project had been in the making for 10 years, allowing visitors to admire the canal’s illuminations.
• Then, in 1859, the public garden footbridge was constructed in cast iron by Claude Grandchamp. This three-arch bridge was eventually dismantled due to high maintenance costs and obstructing boat passage.
• Finally, in 1907, the city replaced the cast iron bridge with a new iron construction by architect Gaspard Fruauf, inaugurated alongside the monument dedicated to Eugène Sue.
