Pont Vieux of Béziers, Medieval stone bridge in Béziers, France.
The Pont Vieux spans across the Orb River with three substantial arches, connecting the eastern and western sections of the city.
Built in 1134, the bridge remained the sole crossing point between Marseille and Toulouse until the middle of the nineteenth century.
Letters from French monarchs Charles VII and Louis XI recognized the bridge's construction quality by addressing official correspondence to Béziers Consuls.
The structure features accessible walkways on both sides, allowing pedestrians to cross while observing the flowing waters of the Orb River.
Recent archaeological work revealed the original Roman foundations beneath the current bridge, demonstrating multiple construction phases across different periods.
