    Historical monument: pop.culture.gouv.fr
    First mention of the bridge: 1264
    In the past, the Way of Saint-Jacques passed here on one of the main paths leading to Puy-en-Velay. The five meter wide structure extends over a length of more than 200 meters. Only two arches span the riverbed. The rest covers cultivated land, probably indicating that the river bed was once larger. Two buried arches serve as cellars. The bows are irregular and low and show a slight break with old lace, except for one bow which has been completely redone in modern times. The northern end presents a state of disrepair which could predate the Romanesque period. This structure testifies to a construction prior to the gabled bridges of the Gothic era.
