The bridge called the King's Bridge was erected at the beginning of the 13th century. Indeed, in 1291, Philip the Fair officially declared the foundation of Boucieu and thus created a co-lordship with the lord Geronton de Valmordane. Boucieu le Roi was endowed with a charter of franchise (tax exemption for its inhabitants) and a bailiwick (court of justice).
The charter of franchise would attract numerous merchants and notables. Access routes were therefore paramount, hence the construction of this 3-arch bridge. It would later be widened in 1773.
