Pont du Carrousel
In the story · Escape from the Louvre
Sophie presses the GPS tracker into a bar of soap and hurls it from a Louvre window onto a passing truck; Fache's police cars chase the decoy across this bridge while she and Langdon slip away in her Smart car. The bridge's tall lamp obelisks frame the Louvre's Grande Galerie perfectly.
