One of the Nelson Mandela Bridges in Charenton-le-Pont, Paris.

The Nelson Mandela Bridges (French: Ponts Nelson-Mandela) are two twin bridges in France, along the River Seine, between Ivry-sur-Seine and Charenton-le-Pont, where the Seine and the River Marne have their confluence. Initially they were both called the "pont de Conflans" ("Confluence Bridge"), but were renamed for Nelson Mandela, the first democratically-elected President of South Africa. They now form part of the D103 and the A4 autoroute.
