Pont de Bourdeilles

The Pont de Bourdeilles spans the Dronne River with eight Romanesque arches of varying widths ranging from 4.83 to 8.25 meters, constructed entirely from local limestone.

Originally built in the 16th century, the bridge required partial reconstruction after the major flood of January 1735 that damaged several structures throughout the region.

Registered as a monument historique since 1987, the bridge represents traditional medieval engineering techniques and serves as a testament to the architectural heritage of Dordogne.

The bridge maintains a total length exceeding 50 meters with a deck width of nearly 4 meters, allowing both vehicular and pedestrian traffic to cross safely.

The bridge features triangular cutwater reinforcements on the upstream side that protect the stone piers from flood damage and provide enhanced structural stability.
