Pont Lesdiguières, Stone bridge in Claix, France.
The Pont Lesdiguières stretches 46 meters across the Drac River with a single arch rising 16 meters above the water in eastern France.
Construction of the bridge commenced in 1608 under François de Bonne de Lesdiguières and reached completion in 1611, serving as a vital crossing point.
The bridge earned recognition as part of the Seven Wonders of Dauphiné and received classification as a historical monument in May 1898.
The structure stands near the municipalities of Claix and Pont-de-Claix, with night lighting installations highlighting its architectural features after dark.
Local narratives tell of the bandit Mandrin confronting customs officers on this bridge during an incident in 1754.
