Pont de la reine Jeanne

The stone bridge spans 35 meters across the Vançon river, connecting the hamlets of Vilhosc and Saint-Symphorien with a narrow 2-meter-wide roadway.

Built in the 16th century, the bridge received its name from Queen Jeanne of Anjou, who ruled Provence and Naples while improving living conditions for local residents.

The bridge reflects medieval engineering with its donkey-back shape and stands as a testament to historical construction methods in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region.

Located at coordinates 44°11'13.2"N and 6°2'37.6"E, the bridge remains accessible every day of the year without entrance fees or time restrictions.

Rising 12.5 meters above the torrent, the bridge features a single arch with double archivolts enhanced by a canopy on its upstream side.
