Pont de Rei, International bridge at France-Spain border, Bausen.

The stone bridge spans across the Garonne River, connecting the Aran Valley in Spain with the Haute-Garonne department in France.

In 1515, Spanish and French representatives signed the Plan d'Arem agreement at this crossing to ensure free passage between the valleys.

The bridge carries multiple names across languages, including Pont del Rei in Catalan, Puente del Rey in Spanish, and Pont du Roi in French.

Vehicles access the bridge via Route N125 from the French commune of Fos and Route N-230 from the Spanish municipality of Bausen.

During World War II, the bridge served as an escape route for Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi-occupied France into Spain.
