Inaugurated on November 18, 1889, it was originally an Eiffel-type railway bridge. It now supports the greenway crossing Haut-Languedoc, Passa Païs, from Mazamet to Bédarieux (76 kilometres).

The linguistic proximity of the "Pont Eiffel", which spans the river Jaur here at Olargues, and the low mountain range "Eifel" in the far west of Germany is no coincidence: The family of the designer - whose world-famous tower of Paris (named after its builder) is probably known to everyone - has German roots. The ancestors of the Eiffel Tower builder Gustave EIFFEL come from the Eifel town of Marmagen (in the Euskirchen district, North Rhine-Westphalia). The village square there - if you are interested, see the following hiking highlight komoot.com/de-de/highlight/1830307 - is named after him.
