The Pont des Amours is a slender, iron-arched footbridge spanning the narrow canal that links the Thiou river to the expanse of Lake Annecy. Its delicate lattice structure separates the bustling city quays from the quiet greenery of the Champ de Mars park. Local legend insists that lovers who kiss on the bridge stay together for life. In nineteen oh six, the engineer Gaspard Fruhinsholz designed this span to replace a simple wooden walkway, creating a permanent vantage point for the surrounding mountains.
