Again and again on the pilgrimage route - like here on the 10th stage of the "Via Podiensis" from Conques to Livinhac - valleys have to be crossed and rivers to be crossed. Just after leaving Conques, this is the Dourdou. The bridges are sometimes comparatively modern, sometimes medieval and sometimes even older in origin. But the most important thing is that they make it possible – of course not only, but also for us pilgrims on the Chemin de Saint Jacques – to get to the other side.

The 1410 pilgrim bridge crosses the Dourdou, which, together with the Sainte-Foy Church as part of the Jacob Way, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
