Pont du Général Milhaud, Bridge in Arpajon-sur-Cère, France
The Pont du Général Milhaud is a bridge in Arpajon-sur-Cère, in the Cantal department of France, spanning the Cère river. It links two sides of the town and serves as a regular crossing for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers going about their daily routines.
The crossing over the Cère is one of the old routes recorded on early maps of Arpajon-sur-Cère, reflecting how the river shaped movement through the area. Over time, the structure was adapted to meet the needs of growing traffic while keeping its place in the town.
The bridge is named after General Édouard Milhaud, a cavalry officer from the Napoleonic era who was born in the Cantal region. His name on this crossing ties the town to a broader chapter of French military history that visitors often overlook.
The bridge is easy to reach on foot and sits in the built-up part of Arpajon-sur-Cère, making it a natural stop during a walk through town. The banks of the Cère nearby offer a pleasant spot to pause and take in the surroundings.
A new sports complex called the Espace du Pont is being built just next to the bridge, which will change the look of this part of the riverbank. Visitors crossing today can already see the new structure taking shape on the other side.
