Pont Jules-César, Stone bridge in Nantes, France

The Pont Jules-César stretches across the Chézine River, connecting the southern end of Boulevard des Anglais with white stone arches and brick parapets.

Completed in 1879, the bridge marked the administrative boundary between Nantes and the former commune of Chantenay-sur-Loire during its construction period.

The bridge name derives from Julius Caesar's military operations against the Veneti tribes, who commanded the construction of galleys on the Loire River.

The structure provides access for motorized vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, linking the Procé parks in the east to the Chézine valley in the west.

The bridge's stone arches and construction methods represent the engineering practices of the late 19th century, incorporating local materials and techniques.
