Pont de La Daurade

The Pont de La Daurade stretches across the Garonne River with a length of 18 meters, connecting both banks of Toulouse with stone architecture.

Built in the second half of the 12th century, this bridge was the second masonry structure over the Garonne River after the Roman aqueduct bridge.

The bridge received its name from the La Daurade monastery, serving as a vital crossing point for pilgrims traveling through medieval Toulouse.

Only one pillar remains from the original structure, which can be visited during European Heritage Days in September.

The bridge underwent transformation from brick vaults to wooden decks due to flooding, leading to its designation as Pont-Couvert in 1480.
