Pont des Barris, Stone bridge in Périgueux, France

The Pont des Barris stretches across the Isle River with three masonry arches supported by two pillars, connecting different parts of Périgueux.

Built between 1860 and 1861 by the Coquelet brothers, this bridge replaced the medieval Tournepiche bridge that had existed since the 12th century.

The bridge marks the boundary between the Barris district and the main city, forming one of six crossings over the Isle River in Périgueux.

Located at coordinates 45°11'00 N and 0°43'29 E, the bridge underwent an expansion in 1963 to accommodate increasing traffic flow.

During the Middle Ages, three towers stood at the ends of the previous bridge: Mosnier Tower, Bridge Middle Tower, and Bridge Notre-Dame Tower.
