Pont d'Estaing

The stone bridge spans across the Lot River with four Gothic arches, connecting the municipalities of Estaing and Sébrazac in Aveyron department.

The inhabitants of Estaing constructed this bridge in 1490 under the direction of Bishop François d'Estaing, completing the project in the first quarter of the 16th century.

The bridge forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites along the Way of Saint James, serving pilgrims traveling the Via Podiensis route from Le Puy-en-Velay.

The structure carries the D22 departmental road and connects with two major hiking trails, the GR 6 and GR 65, at its southern end.

The central pier features a statue of Bishop François d'Estaing, sculpted by François Mahoux in 1866, alongside an iron cross replacing a 19th-century original.
