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

The limestone bridge spans across the Epte River with a single vaulted arch, featuring beveled voussoirs and a stepped extrados configuration at its crown.

Built between 1620 and 1640, the bridge formed part of a strategic road network connecting Paris to the port of Dieppe for military and commercial purposes.

The bridge received official recognition as a historical monument in 2004, highlighting its structural elements and the adjacent riverbank modifications.

Visitors can access the bridge through a 5.7-kilometer walking trail starting from Place de l'église in Ménerval, with 47 percent of the path on paved surfaces.

Local records indicate the discovery of medieval foundations during restoration work between 2011 and 2017, suggesting an earlier crossing point at this location.
