Pont Yssoir, Bicycle bridge and footpath in Le Mans, France.
The Pont Yssoir spans across the Sarthe River, connecting the Pre and Plantagenet districts through dedicated lanes for cyclists and pedestrians.
Initially built as a wooden drawbridge in 1530, the structure underwent reconstruction in stone thirty years later to improve durability and accessibility.
The bridge's location near the main entrance of the old town made it a central meeting point where local merchants set up shops in its corners.
The structure extends 60 meters across the river and incorporates separate paths for bicycles and pedestrians, ensuring safe passage for different types of users.
Roman archaeological remains found at the base of Pont Yssoir indicate the presence of an ancient crossing point from the Gallo-Roman period.
