A footbridge of about 200m length leads between Le Conquet and Cosquies on the north bank over the Ria. In the past, crossing the bay was only possible at low tide. If you were in a hurry to get to the other side of the river, you had to make a detour of several kilometers.
From 1864 there was ferry service. The first bridge (wooden) was built at this point by the Germans during the occupation to ease the crossing for troops - the current bridge has been there since 1950.

Pedestrian/bicycle bridge offering an original view of the Conquet estuary and allowing you to avoid the main road.

A sign says: everyone travels at the same speed here. So cycling is allowed, but at walking pace.
