Pont Valentré is one of the few fortified medieval bridges remaining in the world. Its Gothic military architecture makes it a masterpiece of defense and engineering.
1308: The start of construction: The decision to build the bridge is made by the consuls of Cahors to secure the western access to the city and adapt to the flourishing trade.
1308-1378: An endless construction site: The work lasts nearly 70 years, slowed down by the Black Death and the Hundred Years' War. From this legendary slowness was born the famous legend of the Devil.
