Diversion canal for boats to avoid the meanders of the Yonne. Small bridge topped with an iron cross.

Beautiful remains. But don't worry, the new bridge is very solid.

Lovely place for a bike ride.

The Vanne Aqueduct in Pont-Sur-Yonne was built in the 19th century by the engineer Eugène Belgrand to transport pure water from the Vanne to the capital. It extends over 156 km and crosses several valleys and rivers, including the Yonne and the Loing. You will be able to admire its elegant arches and discover its technical prowess throughout the route. The aqueduct is part of a network of trails that connect different villages and towns in the region.

The remains of the old bridge are the remains of an old stone bridge built under Louis XIV and partially destroyed during the wars of 1814 and 1940. You can admire the three arches which still stand over the Yonne, as well as the aqueduct de la Vanne which is nearby and which was also dynamited by the French army in 1940.

But, of wood or stone, the bridges were often destroyed by floods or ice. Also, in 1684, Louis XIV entrusted his famous architect Liberal Bruant, author of the Hôtel des Invalides in Paris, with the realization of a new work. Several times overhauled, this bridge was decommissioned as part of a reorganization of the crossing of the Yonne by a new bridge, then dynamited in 1940. Much of the remains were further destroyed in the post-war years. With its three remaining arches, it is one of the monuments selected by the mission for the preservation of heritage. More prosaically, it is now organized like a promontory with a terrace, very pleasant for having a coffee. Good to know: the Pont s / Yonne market, very well stocked, takes place every Sunday morning in the streets of the city center. It is also an opportunity to buy a small snack ...
