The Pont de l'Alma (French pronunciation: [pɔ̃ də lalma], English: Alma Bridge) is a road bridge in Paris, France, across the Seine. It was named to commemorate the Battle of Alma during the Crimean War, in which the Ottoman-Franco-British alliance achieved victory over the Russian army in 1854. The bridge is known for being the site of the car crash that caused the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1997.
