Viaduc de Barbin, Railway viaduct in Mortagne-sur-Sèvre, France.
The Barbin Viaduct spans 300 meters across the Sèvre Nantaise River with 14 granite arches reaching a height of 38 meters.
Built between 1904 and 1907, the viaduct sustained damage from Allied bombing in 1944 and underwent restoration in 1946 to repair its broken arch.
The railway structure connects Mortagne-sur-Sèvre to Les Herbiers, serving as part of a 22-kilometer tourist train route since 1992.
Visitors can explore the viaduct through marked hiking trails that start from the nearby ponds and extend for 8 kilometers through the surrounding area.
Local granite quarries were specifically opened to extract the massive stone blocks required for constructing this engineering masterwork of the early 20th century.
