Gignac Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Gignac, France
The bridge stretches 174 meters across the Herault River with three arches, including a central span measuring 48 meters in width.
Construction of this structure began in 1776 under architect Bertrand Garipuy and continued through the French Revolution until its completion in 1810.
