Pont de Pont-Réan, Historic bridge across Vilaine River in Bruz and Guichen, France.
Pont de Pont-Réan is a stone bridge with nine rounded arches spanning the Vilaine River, connecting Bruz and Guichen in Brittany. The structure carries the D577 road and serves as an important crossing point for vehicles and pedestrians.
The current stone structure was built in 1767 by the Brittany province, replacing a medieval bridge that was no longer in use after being sold by Count de Blossac in 1753. This replacement was part of the region's infrastructure development during the 18th century.
The bridge marks the historic boundary between Bruz and Guichen, continuing to serve as a municipal border that people still recognize when crossing from one side to the other.
Access to the bridge is straightforward since it carries the D577 road and remains open to both vehicles and pedestrians. The best time to cross is outside peak hours when traffic is lighter.
Roman coins discovered near the site point to an ancient Roman road that once connected Rennes to Rieux and crossed the Vilaine at this location. This reveals that this river crossing has been a key passage point since ancient times.
