Bridge over the Dourdou

The Pont Romain spans the Dourdou River with multiple stone arches that link both banks together. The structure shows typical features of medieval building methods with sturdy supports and carefully placed stones.

Built in the 14th century, the bridge was an important crossing for merchants and travelers moving through the region. It has survived centuries and remains a testament to medieval engineering skills.

The bridge serves as part of a pilgrimage network that has connected this region for centuries. Visitors can still see how the structure fits into a larger route that people have traveled through time.

Visitors can walk or bike across, as the surface is flat and accessible for most people. The location sits on several cycling routes that pass through the region and the village.

The Pont Romain was originally part of a larger network of bridges and paths designed specifically for pilgrims. Today, visitors can see how this small bridge played a central role in connecting different historical routes.
