Pont du Cheix, Medieval bridge in La Bazeuge, France
The Pont du Cheix spans the River Brame with three Gothic arches constructed from carefully arranged stone blocks and fitted with almond-shaped breakwaters.
Built between the 13th and 14th centuries, the bridge served as a crossing point near a mill mentioned in the Chapter of Le Dorat records from 1361.
The bridge stands at Le Cheix, the birthplace of Saint Théobald, who became one of the two patron saints of the nearby town Le Dorat.
Visitors can reach the bridge by following the D675 road from Le Dorat toward Le Blanc for three kilometers until crossing the River Brame.
The original humpback design of the bridge includes two rectangular buttresses downstream, while the deck structure has largely disappeared over time.
