    Hiking

    The construction style suggests that the bridge post-dates the Templars, but it is quite old. The bridge is said to be part of the pilgrim road from Paris to Santiago de Compostela, which would explain the interest of the Templars, responsible for pilgrimage routes, in the road. Fun sunlight effects at the end of autumn days. In October, the bridge is the Centre of a medieval day, a delight of children of all ages. Check the web site of the city of Longjumeau for an exact date.

    Hiking

    I am unable to judge whether this bridge is actually connected to the Knights Templar Order, as described in the highlight title (the exact name would be “Poor Knighthood of Christ and the Solomonic Temple in Jerusalem”). In this case it would have to go back to the 12th or 13th century.

    Mountain biking

    The Old Bridge of Balizy, or the Templar Bridge, spans the Rouillon. Hidden in the heart of the Templar Woods, and surrounded by magnificent forest paths, it is a superb place for a mountain bike ride.
