Pont de Normandie
Honfleur, France
A cable-stayed bridge opened in 1995 across the Seine estuary, with a main span of 856 m. There is a toll for cars and motorhomes; the approach viaduct gives a wide view of the estuary.
The Pont de Normandie spans the mouth of the Seine between Honfleur and Le Havre. It was completed on 20 January 1995. The cable-stayed bridge is about 2.1 km long in total, and the main span between the two pylons measures 856 m. Each pylon is almost 215 m high. With this span the bridge beat the previous cable-stayed record, held by a bridge in Shanghai, by more than 250 m, until the Tatara Bridge in Japan took the title in 1999.
Drivers pay a toll; pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists cross free. The bridge has a footpath and a narrow cycle lane in each direction. The toll concession is due to expire in the coming years, so check the current operator and tariff before you travel (as of October 2026). The view over the estuary is best in clear weather. Allow a good hour to cross on foot or by bike.
