Pont des Pèlerins de Saint-Chély-d'Aubrac

A notable building is the pilgrim bridge over the Boralde River. The present limestone sandstone bridge was built in the 16th century and, as an important part of the Way of St. James, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Again and again on the pilgrimage route to St. James (Chemin de Saint Jacques) - like here on the stage from St.Chely-d'Aubrac to Espalion - valleys have to be crossed and rivers to be crossed. The bridges are sometimes comparatively modern, sometimes medieval and sometimes even older in origin. But always, and this is the main thing, they bring – of course not only, but also us pilgrims – safely to the other side.

In Aveyron everything is beautiful ♡, this little bridge is very cute, especially known because the Jacquaires pass through it! For those who hike in the Rouergue, there are many small bridges, often hidden, others more emblematic are classified by UNESCO. I invite all the creators of hikes to photograph them to make them known to us.
