Pont de Rochemaure, Historic suspension bridge in Rochemaure, France.
The bridge spans across the Rhône River, connecting the municipalities of Rochemaure in Ardèche and Ancône in Drôme with a Himalayan-style footbridge design.
The original Marc Seguin suspension bridge, built in 1858, replaced an earlier structure from 1842 that was destroyed by floods in 1856.
The preservation of this bridge demonstrates French engineering heritage, representing a crucial period of 19th-century infrastructure development in the Rhône Valley.
The bridge serves as a crossing point for the ViaRhôna cycle path, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to traverse between Ardèche and Drôme departments.
The bridge structure underwent transformation from a vehicular crossing to a Himalayan footbridge in 2013, following local citizens' efforts to prevent its demolition.
