Pont-Saint-Esprit, Medieval commune in Gard, France
The commune stands at the intersection of three rivers - the Rhône, Ardèche, and Cèze - creating a natural crossing point in southern France.
The construction of the stone bridge across the Rhône River began in 1265 under Jehan de Thianges and took 44 years to complete until 1309.
The Maison des Chevaliers houses the Musée d'Art Sacré, which displays religious artifacts, precious metalwork, relics, and Cretois icons from medieval times.
The local markets offer regional products including wines from Côtes du Rhône, fresh fruits, vegetables, and artisanal goods throughout the week.
The town marks the ancestral home of Michel Bouvier, a carpenter whose lineage extends to former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy through generations.
