Pont au Change
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pont au Change is a bridge over the Seine River in Paris, France.
It connects the Île de la Cité from the Palais de Justice and the Conciergerie, to the Right Bank, at the level of the Théâtre du Châtelet.
It is located at the border between the Ier and the IVe arrondissements.
It owes its name to the goldsmiths and money changers who had installed their shops on the bridge in the 12th century.
