Pont Jacques-Gabriel, Stone arch bridge in Blois, France.
The Pont Jacques-Gabriel extends 283 meters across the Loire River with eleven arches made of cut stone blocks.
Built between 1716 and 1724 after a medieval bridge collapsed, the structure was designed by royal architect Jacques Gabriel under Louis XIV's reign.
The bridge earned recognition as a Monument Historique in 1937, marking its importance in French architectural heritage.
The structure includes two pedestrian walkways added in 2016, while maintaining vehicle lanes for crossing the Loire River.
This bridge maintains its original camelback shape, making it the last of its kind spanning the Loire River.
