Pont de La Daurade, Stone bridge near La Daurade monastery, Toulouse, France
Pont de La Daurade is a stone bridge spanning the Garonne River in Toulouse, connecting both riverbanks. The structure was built from solid stone and features the characteristic construction methods typical of medieval river crossings.
The bridge was built in the second half of the 12th century as one of the first stone structures across the Garonne in Toulouse. Over time it underwent changes and reinforcements, particularly due to the river's flooding issues.
The bridge received its name from the La Daurade monastery, serving as a vital crossing point for pilgrims traveling through medieval Toulouse.
The site is accessible during regular days and offers quiet views across the Garonne. Visitors can use the riverside paths to view the bridge and its remaining structures from different angles.
The structure was modified to add wooden decking in order to handle flooding more effectively. Today only one original pillar remains from the original construction, showing how the bridge changed over the centuries.
