Named after the pont de Levallois and the Bécon quarter of Courbevoie across the Seine.
The bridge, built from 1913 to 1919, links Levallois-Perret with Courbevoie. Levallois-Perret is named after its founders: Jean-Jacques Perret, who launched the first housing estates in 1822, and Nicolas Eugène Levallois, a wine merchant and land speculator who took up his project. The origin of the name Bécon is uncertain; it may come from the Saxon word 'beacon'.
