Bridge built at the time of the fortified castle and the church (12th century). It replaced a wooden bridge established over a ford by Saint Romain in the 6th century.
In the Middle Ages, bridge and castle went hand in hand because any river crossing gave rise to a toll.
In 1859, the bridge, which was 5.50 m wide, was widened by 2.50 m to adapt it to the transformation of the main roads into secondary roads. During 2004, it was completely renovated.

City of character which deserves to be among the most beautiful villages in France with a little more development. To have :
1 - the castle and the small surrounding village after a beautiful climb from the village.
2 - the pond hidden behind the houses in the center. A quiet corner with a beautiful overview of the village. There you will understand where the name Belles Fontaines comes from.
