Hiking
The Montcel bridges and the Gaudon bridge, spanning the Morge, were once toll bridges, established by royal decree on August 15, 1778. At that time, any crossing was subject to a passage fee, the rate of which varied depending on the type of vehicle and the load carried. For example, a four-wheeled cart loaded with firewood had to pay a tax of four deniers. These infrastructures, essential for local trade and exchange, still bear witness today to the economic and social history of Montcel during the Ancien Régime.
