The Pont Marguet was constructed under the administration of M. Fontaine, then Mayor of Boulogne, and inaugurated on September 27, 1853, by Napoleon III. This bridge played a crucial role in the city’s maritime and commercial expansion, allowing for better movement of goods and people between the harbor and inland areas.
