Pont de la Reine Blanche, Historical bridge in Curçay-sur-Dive, France.
The Pont de la Reine Blanche spans across the water with two arches constructed from flint nodules, demonstrating medieval engineering techniques.
The bridge received its name from Queen Blanche de Castille who visited the area in 1228 with her son, the future Saint Louis.
Local narratives connect the bridge's construction to Queen Blanche's response to frequent drownings in the Dive marshlands during the medieval period.
The structure maintains its original function as a crossing point and stands as a protected historical monument since 1980, allowing visitors to walk across.
During the period between 1834 and 1900, the bridge served as a vital link for boats transporting peat, stone, and wine along the Dive canal.
