Pont de Sablons

The Pont de Sablons extends 185 meters across the Rhône River, connecting the municipalities of Sablons and Serrières through a robust cable system.

Built in 1828, the bridge represents an early example of suspension bridge engineering in France during the industrial development of the Rhône Valley region.

The bridge functions as a meeting point for local celebrations between the communities of Sablons and Serrières, strengthening regional connections through generations.

Vehicles and pedestrians can access the bridge from both municipalities, with dedicated pathways offering direct routes to the town centers.

The wooden deck structure of the bridge, maintained through centuries, demonstrates the durability of 19th-century French engineering methods.
