Le Pont-au-Change, Paris is an etching by the French artist Charles Meryon, created in 1854. This work is part of Meryon's famous series "Eaux-fortes sur Paris" (Etchings of Paris), which captures the architectural essence and urban landscape of mid-19th century Paris. The Pont-au-Change itself is a bridge that spans the Seine River in Paris, connecting the Île de la Cité with the Right Bank. Historically, this bridge was a bustling site of commerce, named after the money changers who established their businesses there in the medieval period.

In this etching, Meryon employs his meticulous attention to detail and his deep appreciation for Gothic architectural elements. The view is not merely documentary; it is imbued with a sense of the historical layering and the atmospheric mood of Paris. Meryon's technique involves a masterful control of light and shadow, which brings out the textures of the stone and the bustling activity on the bridge, providing a vivid sense of place and time.

Meryon's works, including Le Pont-au-Change, Paris, are highly valued not only for their artistic quality but also for their historical significance. They provide a visual record of Paris before many of its medieval structures were demolished during the Haussmann renovations later in the 19th century. This etching, like others from the series, is considered a crucial document of the urban landscape of Paris, offering insights into the city's architectural heritage and urban life before its transformation.
