Pont du Pré-Claou

The Pont du Pré-Claou is a road bridge spanning about 350 meters across the reservoir Lac de Saint-Cassien, connecting both shores in the Var region. Its design allows vehicles to cross between Montauroux and neighboring communities without needing to navigate around the water.

The bridge was constructed in 1965 and represented an important step in improving infrastructure across the Var region. It enabled villages on both sides of the lake to connect more easily with one another.

The bridge serves as a central meeting point for local residents who gather near its access points to participate in community activities throughout the year.

The bridge offers a direct driving route for cars and is passable in all seasons without needing detours. Pedestrians and cyclists can also use the crossing, though they should be mindful of vehicle traffic.

The structure's position at coordinates 43.5828°N and 6.8025°E makes it a reference point for aircraft navigation over Lac de Saint-Cassien.
