    Hiking

    The Pont des Cieutats , or Pont-Vieux, is one of three bridges that allow the crossing of the Lot in Villeneuve-sur-Lot, in the French department of Lot-et-Garonne. It is an arch bridge consisting of two small arches and a large arch with a span of 36 meters.

    One of three bridges to/from Villeneuve. Nice photo opportunity.

    The bridge owes its name to Nicolas de Cieutat (baron of Pujols) and his son Arnaud. In 1585, they successfully led the heroic defense of Villeneuve-sur-Lot against the troops of Marguerite de Valois (Queen Margot).

    It initially comprised five arches and three fortified square brick towers with portcullises and machicolations, intended for the defense of the town.

    At the beginning of the 17th century, violent floods swept away two arches and its central tower.

    In 1643, by order of Cardinal de Richelieu, the bridge was rebuilt with a single monumental arch spanning 36 meters, giving it its current asymmetrical silhouette.
