Pont du Bonhomme, Historic bridge in Kervignac, France.
The Pont du Bonhomme spans 237 meters across the Blavet River, connecting the cities of Kervignac and Lanester with a central span of 163 meters.
Built between 1900 and 1904 by Ferdinand Arnodin, this bridge replaced a ferry service that had operated since 1681, marking a shift in regional transportation.
The bridge receives protection status as a classified natural site, reflecting its integration into the Brittany landscape and regional infrastructure development.
The structure rises 37 meters above the water, allowing sailing vessels to pass underneath while providing a direct route between the two municipalities.
Two statues originally adorned the bridge, depicting a woman offering a tobacco box to a man, now preserved in Hennebont Town Hall.
