Pont Wilson, Stone bridge in Tours, France.

Pont Wilson is a stone bridge with 15 round arches spanning the Loire, 434 metres long and 21.30 metres wide including the cutwaters. Its tapered pier caps carry small conical finials, and a flat parapet lined with tall street lamps runs along the deck. It links Place Choiseul and Avenue de la Tranchée to the north with Place Anatole-France and Rue Nationale to the south.

Construction began with the cornerstone laid at the northern abutment on 25 October 1765, to a design by Mathieu Bayeux, and was completed in 1778 under Jean-Baptiste de Voglie. The bridge replaced the 11th-century Pont d'Eudes, which had needed shoring up for Louis XIII's visit in 1626. It was first called Pont Royal, renamed Wilson in 1918, and inscribed as a monument historique in 1926.

Locals call it the Pont de Pierre, the Stone Bridge, rather than by its official name. The name dates from 1918, when the bridge was renamed for Woodrow Wilson after American troops set up one of France's largest bases at Tours-Nord in 1917-1918. General John Pershing wrote in his memoirs that the United States had two capitals: Washington and Tours.

Since summer 2020 the deck is closed to cars: pedestrians use the eastern side, cyclists the western side, and tram line A runs between them. The bridge links Place Choiseul on the north bank with Place Anatole-France and Rue Nationale on the south bank. The southern quay below, with its guinguette open from May to October, gives the widest view back at the arches.

The bridge's 14 piers were already judged too wide by engineer Jean-Rodolphe Perronet at the time of construction, because they created excessive turbulence in the Loire. The stone came from La Membrolle-sur-Choisille, Bléré and Athée-sur-Cher. Building it also meant removing the Île Saint-Jacques and displacing about 900 families of washerwomen and fishermen.
