Pont d'Eudes, Medieval stone bridge in Tours, France.
The bridge stretched 450 meters across the Loire River with 23 arches connecting the city of Tours to Saint-Symphorien district.
Built around 1034 under Count Odo II of Blois with support from King Henry I, the bridge remained the sole Loire crossing point until 1780.
The structure housed merchants and fishermen along its length, creating a commercial center that influenced the development of medieval Tours.
Archaeological remains of the bridge become visible during low water periods, allowing researchers to study medieval construction techniques.
The bridge charter specified free crossing rights, causing conflicts with Saint-Martin Abbey, which controlled regional toll collection.
