Le Pont des Courses

The Pont des Courses is a metal bridge that spans the Gouët river, between the Cesson district in Saint-Brieuc and the Grèves de Langueux. It was built in 1905 by Louis Auguste Harel de La Noë, an engineer who carried out numerous works for the Côtes-du-Nord railways. The Pont des Courses is 40 meters long and has a single arch of 12 meters. It passes under an arch of the Compagnie des chemins de fer de l’Ouest bridge, which connects Saint-Brieuc to the port of Légué. The Pont des Courses has been listed as a Historic Monument since July 2018. It was rehabilitated in 2020, after being closed for several years for security reasons. The Pont des Courses is part of the cycle path of the strikes, which runs along the Gouët river and offers a panorama of the bay of Saint-Brieuc.

Bridge is currently being renovated, otherwise a good route by bike or on foot 🦶
