Pont de Coq, 17th-century stone bridge in Ménerval and Saumont-la-Poterie, France

Pont de Coq is a stone bridge crossing the Epte River with a single arched span built from limestone. The arch features carefully shaped wedge-shaped stones and a distinctive stepped design at its summit.

The bridge was built between 1620 and 1640 as part of a major route linking Paris to the port of Dieppe. It was constructed to support both trade and military movements along this corridor.

The bridge is a listed monument historique since 23 November 2004. Since 2010 the Association pour la Sauvegarde du Pont de Coq has worked on it, and restoration ended in 2017 with help from the Fondation du patrimoine and the Fondation TotalEnergies. The old road over it is now part of the walking routes of the pays de Bray.

To reach the bridge, follow a walking path of about 5 kilometers starting from the church in Ménerval. Most of the route follows roads or paved surfaces for easier access.

The bridge was rediscovered in 2003, when one-metre-thick trees were growing on its wings and the haunches of the vault. The communes of Ménerval and Saumont-la-Poterie cut them down that same year, and in October 2010 some 300 cut stones were recovered from the riverbed for the restoration.
