Cables Of Charles-Albert Pedestrian Bridge Between Geneva And Annecy In France Royalty-Free Stock Photography

Charles-Albert bridge, part of Ponts de la Caille, spans the gorge of the Usses River on the route between Geneva and Annecy. It was built in Medieval Revival style and features two white crenellated towers at each end supported by two dozen cables. The bridge is 142 m high and 194 m in length and inaugurated on 11 July 1839 by the King. This impressive and daring example of mid-nineteenth-century engineering is one of the oldest suspension bridges still in use today and also one of the highest in France.
