Pont de Saint-Etienne d'Issensac

The Saint-Etienne d'Issensac Bridge spans 60 meters across the Herault River with three remaining stone arches and triangular supports at both ends.

Built in the 14th century, this bridge served as a crucial passage for pilgrims traveling to Saint Guilhem Le Desert on their way to Santiago de Compostela.

The bridge received official recognition as a Monument Historique in 1948, marking its importance in French architectural and historical heritage.

Vehicle access is restricted to a maximum width of two meters and a weight limit of 3.5 tons due to the bridge's narrow structure.

The bridge's local limestone construction reaches a maximum height of 13.35 meters and rests directly on the bedrock of the Herault River.
