The small town of Pont s / Yonne takes its name, known since the 9th century, from its location at the meeting point of two major communication routes linking Paris to Burgundy and was throughout the Middle Ages an active place of river trade and road. But, of wood or stone, the bridges were often destroyed by floods or ice. Also, in 1684, Louis XIV entrusted his famous architect Liberal Bruant, author of the Hôtel des Invalides in Paris, with the realization of a new work. Several times overhauled, this bridge was decommissioned as part of a reorganization of the crossing of the Yonne by a new bridge, then dynamited in 1940. Much of the remains were further destroyed in the post-war years.

With its three remaining arches, it is one of the monuments selected by the mission for the preservation of heritage.

More prosaically, it is now organized like a promontory with a terrace, very pleasant for having a coffee.

Good to know: the Pont s / Yonne market, very well stocked, takes place every Sunday morning in the streets of the city center. It is also an opportunity to buy a small snack ...
