Douvenant Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Saint-Brieuc and Langueux, France.
The Douvenant Viaduct spans 130.8 meters in length and rises 22.8 meters high, featuring fifteen brick arches each measuring 6 meters in width.
Engineer Louis Harel de la Noë designed this railway structure in 1905 as part of the Chemin de Fer des Côtes-du-Nord network connecting Saint-Brieuc to Moncontour.
The viaduct received recognition as a French Historical Monument in 2018, marking its significance in the regional industrial heritage of Brittany.
Visitors can access the viaduct from Cesson cemetery parking lot, following La Vélomaritime signs through a 2-kilometer round trip walking path.
The structure incorporates a 109-meter curve radius, making it the largest among thirteen similar viaducts built in the region during that period.
