About
The Pont de Normandie, the widest and longest cable‑stayed bridge in France, gracefully spans the Seine between Le Havre and Honfleur. Opened in 1995, its 856‑meter central span stretches a world‑record 1.3 miles, while the elegant pylons rise 214 m high. Motorists cross in a single, uninterrupted lane, while pedestrians and cyclists enjoy a free, scenic walkway that offers panoramic views of the estuary. Whether you drive across, walk, or simply admire from the safety of your car, the bridge is a spectacular symbol of engineering brilliance and regional pride.
