    Lovely views upstream and downstream from this modern bridge. We can see in particular at the end of Saint Pierre Island, which the bridge spans, Le Minotaure, a bronze work which seems to float on the water during the Doubs floods.

    From a historical point of view, this bridge, a former Denfert-Rochereau footbridge, dates back to the Second World War and its construction has often been attributed to the Todt organization, a civil and military engineering group of the Third Reich. However, it was built by the French authorities and allowed the crossing of the Doubs when other bridges were unavailable. Dynamized in 1944 by the Germans, the footbridge was rebuilt in 1954 then transformed into a metal girder bridge in 1989.
