Pont des Minimes, Road bridge in Chartres, France.

The stone bridge spans across the Eure River, connecting both sides of the lower city district with three distinct arches.

Named after a religious order whose convent occupied the area from the 17th century until the French Revolution, when it was temporarily renamed Bridge of Barracks.

The bridge marks the location of the former port basin of Chartres, which served maritime trade activities until the 16th century.

This crossing point provides direct access to rue de la Corroirie, where visitors can observe the original entrance portal of the former convent.

During World War II in 1944, this structure remained one of the few bridges in Chartres that German forces attempted to destroy during their retreat.
