If you're wondering what this huge bridge-like structure is, it's a transporter bridge that spans the harbor to move vehicles and people from one bank to the other in a gondola (or transporter ) suspended from a carriage passing under the apron. Initially powered by steam, it now uses electricity. It was recently renovated and can still be used to cross the estuary.

Greatly renovated national monument. Of course the bridge is the showpiece.
But there is also a small restaurant, in addition to the crossing you can also book sightseeing tours, a viewing platform and a path with explanatory panels to the Belvedere.

You rarely, if ever, see a bridge like this. So, if you're passing through, you should definitely stop by!
