Pont Notre-Dame
The Pont Notre-Dame is a bridge that crosses the Seine in Paris, connecting the northern part of the city with the Île de la Cité.
Some form of the bridge existed at the same spot at the Seine since nearly the founding of Paris, although it was destroyed and replaced many times. In the early 1400s, the bridge consisted of a few wooden planks. It was historically lined with houses, but they proved too great a burden on the bridge's stability.
During the French Revolution, a band of thugs enforced tolls for crossing the Pont Notre-Dame and other bridges leading in and out of the Île de la Cité. In response, the Assassin Council of the Parisian Brotherhood had Arno Dorian kill the captains in charge of the tolls, ending the thugs' extortion.
