Pont Marius Gontard, Road bridge in Grenoble, France.

The three-arch stone bridge spans 73 meters across the Isère River, connecting the left bank to the intersection of Quai de France and Quai Perrière.

First constructed in 1621 under Lesdiguières, the bridge underwent multiple reconstructions due to floods before its current stone version was completed in 1839.

The bridge serves as the zero-kilometer marker for Grenoble, with a vertical line marked on its parapets indicating the starting point for distance measurements.

Built with Sassenage stone, the bridge features a central span of 27 meters and stands at an elevation of 216.965 meters above sea level.

Foundation reinforcement work between 1985 and 1987 protected the bridge from regressive erosion that threatened its structural stability.
