L'Isle-Jourdain Viaduct, Stone viaduct in L'Isle-Jourdain and Le Vigeant, France.
The L'Isle-Jourdain Viaduct extends 304 meters in length and reaches a height of 40.25 meters, featuring 12 arches spanning 20 meters each.
Engineer Paul Séjourné designed this transportation structure between 1882 and 1884, using materials from local quarries at La Rallerie and Chez Dara.
The viaduct represents a testament to French engineering capabilities of the 19th century, connecting the communities of L'Isle-Jourdain and Le Vigeant.
After serving as a railway connection until 1969, the viaduct now functions as a pedestrian crossing point and hosts bungee jumping activities.
The structure combines traditional stone construction methods with advanced engineering principles of the 1880s, creating a lasting infrastructure across the Vienne River.
