The pont des Suicidés (English: Suicide Bridge) is a walkway crossing the lake of the Buttes-Chaumont park, in the 19th arrondissement of Paris in France.

The walkway crosses the Buttes-Chaumont lake, linking its southern shore to the Île du Belvédère.
Description edit
The walkway is a stone bridge made of a single rounded arch. It stands on top of the lake at a height of 22 meters.

Between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, dozens of suicides happened at the bridge. This was frequently mentioned in the press, with certain newspapers even reffering to it as a "trend"[1].
