capitalisation of pont

Question

Pont de l'Alma with a capital 'P' but pont des Invalides and pont Alexandre III with lower case 'p'. Is that correct?

Accepted Answer

Bonjour G,
Thank you for pointing this out! We have amended the text to include both options (with the capital letter and without), i.e le Pont de... / le pont de... / la tour Eiffel / la Tour Eiffel.
The grammar rule is as follows: le pont de + Noun /  la tour + Noun according to l'Académie française. However, it is very common to come across the capitalization of the first word. Therefore we have accepted both options.
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !

....and the Esplanade des Invalides and the Hôtel des Invalides...... It seems that whenever I put a majuscule it should have been a miniscule..... and vice-versa !!! mdr
