Viaduc de l’Ourche

The Viaduc de l'Ourche spans 121 meters across its eight arches and reaches a height of 43 meters above the Ourche River valley.

The bridge was constructed in 1882 as part of a military railway network connecting Jussey to Darnieulles-Uxegney and remained operational until 1973.

The engineering structure features decorative balconies supported by stone consoles at its summit, reflecting the architectural standards of 19th-century French railway construction.

The former railway bridge now serves as a recreational facility where visitors can participate in rock climbing and bungee jumping activities.

The bridge's arches decrease in size toward the valley sides, creating a harmonious transition from the central span to the abutments.
