Pont Vieux de Trèves, Medieval bridge in Trèves, France.
Description
The Pont Vieux de Trèves is a bridge that crosses the Trevezel River with three arches. Sharp stone spurs on both the upstream and downstream sides support the structure over the water.
History
This bridge was built between the 16th and 17th centuries, replacing an older ford. It became a key part of the royal roads that crossed the Cevennes highlands.
Culture
The stone cross above the parapet shows how the bridge was important to local communities. It reflects the way religious symbols and practical structures were once connected in people's daily lives.
Practical
The bridge is accessible on foot and can be viewed from both sides of the river valley. The water flows mainly beneath one arch, making the structure easy to explore from multiple angles.
Did you know?
The river has shifted its course over the centuries and now flows only beneath the first arch. This change shows how natural forces have reshaped the landscape around this old structure.
