Vaison-la-Romaine Roman Bridge, Roman bridge above Ouvèze River in Vaison-la-Romaine, France.

The stone bridge spans 17.2 meters across the Ouvèze River with a single arch design demonstrating Roman engineering methods and architectural precision.

Built during the first century AD, this bridge represents Roman construction techniques and has survived numerous floods that destroyed more recent structures.

The bridge stands as a testament to ancient Roman infrastructure, earning recognition as a classified historical monument of France since 1840.

Visitors can walk across this functioning bridge that connects the lower modern town to the medieval upper section of Vaison-la-Romaine.

The structure maintains its original Roman stonework and remains the only elliptical vault bridge found outside of Rome.
