Pont d'Artigue, Medieval bridge in Larressingle and Beaumont, France

The stone bridge spans across the river l'Osse with four different-sized arches connecting the communes of Beaumont and Larressingle in southwestern France.

Originally mentioned in records from 1432, the current structure underwent reconstruction in 1724 following a period of deterioration that required royal intervention.

The bridge forms part of the Via Podiensis, a major pilgrimage route leading to Santiago de Compostela, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.

The bridge remains open throughout the year without entrance fees, with information panels detailing its history and connections to the pilgrimage route.

The structure represents one of the last remaining Romanesque bridges from the medieval period, featuring distinctive ocre stone construction and varying arch dimensions.
