Pont en bois

Pont en bois is a bridge in Drôme that spans approximately 100 meters with a structure built from timber beams and supporting posts. The construction uses traditional craftsmanship methods that leave the wood visible, clearly displaying how the framework holds the span across.

The bridge was built during an era when wood was the standard material for crossing waterways, before concrete and steel became common. It represents engineering knowledge from that time period, relying on skilled craftsmanship and locally available materials.

Local residents gather at the bridge during seasonal celebrations, making it a central point for community activities throughout the year.

The bridge is accessible via the D93 road, with parking near the northern side. It can be visited throughout the year and is easy to locate.

The structure maintains its original wooden components through specific preservation techniques that protect against weather and natural deterioration.
