Pont de pierre, Stone bridge in Libourne, France
The Pont de Pierre crosses the Dordogne River for about 178 meters with multiple arches built from local stone and red bricks. It connects the northern and southern banks and has long shaped the town's waterfront character.
Construction took place between 1820 and 1824 under architects Claude Deschamps and Bonnetat. In 1944, German forces destroyed three arches during World War II, triggering postwar reconstruction.
The bridge served as a vital hub for moving wine between Bordeaux and Saint-Emilion for centuries. It remains a daily crossing point woven into local life and the rhythm of the town.
The bridge is accessible year-round and offers good views of the river and the surrounding town. A walk across takes just a few minutes and suits all mobility levels.
A visible fissure runs through the right abutment, marking where war damage was repaired with concrete after 1944. This scar tells the bridge's survival story in physical form.
