The Passerelle Simone de Beauvoir is a pedestrian bridge over the River Seine, linking the Parc de Bercy (in the 12th arrondissement) with the Bibliotheque Francois-Mitterand Library (in the 13th arrondissement). The bridge is named after the French philosopher, Simone de Beauvoir and was inaugurated in July 2006, in the presence of her adoptive daughter Sylvie Le Bon-de Beauvoir. Its innovative modern design is described as following a 'lenticular' structure, that is, shaped like a lentil, with the eye or lens in the middle of the bridge. With its undulating wave-like structure, it is popular with rollerbladers and skateboarders (so pedestrians beware!). It is the 37th bridge in Paris.
