In 1028, Count Fulk Nerra of Anjou had this stone bridge rebuilt, spanning the Maine River between the city and the opposite bank, which was not under the city's control.

It was called the "Great Bridge."

As with other European bridges of this period, houses were gradually built here as well. The resulting street included watermills, fisheries, and goldsmiths.

In the Middle Ages, the city of Angers was one of the most influential in France. Today it offers an exciting mix of history and lively university culture on the edge of the Loire Valley.
