    At first glance, this looks like a classic stone bridge, but it's actually an old railway bridge from the former Port-de-Piles – Argenton line.
    Decades ago, trains crossed it towards Châtellerault and Argenton-sur-Creuse. Now the railway is gone, but the viaduct remains. Massive, elegant, and almost perfectly reflected in the river.
    The large arches create the illusion of three large circles when the water is calm. An unexpectedly photogenic spot.

      Old railway line - built in 1890. The train service from Chatelleraut to Chateauroux closed in 1972.
