    Tips

    January 7, 2022

    At first glance, it is a simple bridge over the Seine. But he has quite a few anecdotes to tell you. In the past, there was only one ferry to cross the river at Valvins. A first bridge was therefore built there in 1825. Forty years later, it was rebuilt to adapt to modernity. But the wars of 1870 and 1940 severely damaged it and it still needs to be rebuilt. Not to mention the arrangements necessary to allow the passage of the tram in 1904. The bridge you see was built in 1970, as the reinforced concrete construction denounces. A hell of a story for a bridge, isn't it? You can read this story while admiring the view of the Seine and the boats.
