La Chaussée du Pont-Neuf - Carriageway of Pont-Neuf. Canvas; 1777. As one can see it in this painting by Nicolas-Jean-Baptist Raguenet (1715-1793) in 1777, all the small shops disappeared. The pavements, the only ones at that time in Paris, separate the crowds of pedestrians from the traffic of horsecarriages. Raguenet reproduced with painstaking meticulousness this daily life scene of the Pont-Neuf Bridge with the pump house of the Samaritaine (on the right) which used to supply the Louvre and Les Tuileries with water from the Seine River.
