The Pont Alexandre III is Paris’s most elegant, grandiose, and sumptuous bridge: one of the most beautiful river crossings in the world. It was built for the Exposition Universelle of 1900, an international world’s fair that introduced talking films, escalators, Russian nesting dolls, wireless telegraphy (radio), and the most powerful telescope ever built. Rudolf Diesel exhibited his new combustion engine which ran only on peanut oil, and the city staged the first Olympic Games outside of Greece. The fair introduced the Art Nouveau style into popular culture and for the first time electric lights illuminated the City of Light.
Saw:
A bridge = un pont
Some boats = Certains bateaux
The Eiffel Tower = La Tour Eiffel
A plaque = Une plaque
A river = Une rivière
Heard:
Water flowing = l'eau qui coule
- Qu'est-ce que tu as fait?
- Au Pont Alexandre III j'ai pris un tour.
