The Saint-Laurent footbridge, also called the suspension bridge, now reserved for pedestrians, was, until the middle of the 17th century, the only bridge in Grenoble. Many times washed away by floods and rebuilt, the toll "wooden bridge" was, until the commissioning of a second bridge in 1671, the only access route to the major traffic axis located on the right bank of the Isère connecting Chambéry to the Rhône valley. Today it connects the historic center of Grenoble, left bank, to Place de la Cymaise, in the Saint Laurent district, right bank.
