Ponts Jumeaux, Historic bridge junction in Toulouse, France.

The Ponts Jumeaux consists of three bridges connecting the Canal du Midi, Canal de Garonne, and Canal de Brienne at a central meeting point.

Engineer Joseph-Marie de Saget designed and constructed the first two bridges in 1774, with the third bridge added during the Canal de Garonne development in 1844.

A marble bas-relief created by François Lucas in 1775 depicts Occitania holding a boat rudder while cherubs work on canal construction.

The bridge complex serves as a navigation point for boats transitioning between different waterways, forming part of the maritime connection between Mediterranean and Atlantic.

The keystone architecture features distinctive basket handle arches with stone bandeaus supporting the parapet and cornice structures.
