This viaduct has spanned the Parfond de Gouet valley since 1904. Like many other engineering structures in this region, it was built by Harel de la Noe, the chief engineer of bridges and roads, for the departmental railway network. The Saint-Brieuc to Paimpol line operated until 1956. Today, bicycles have replaced the little train!

A path rather than a road that comes across a somewhat unexpected passage with a beautiful view from above.

The bridge was out of service; it was being cleaned and inspected. We couldn't cross the river here. We had to drive back to the next bridge before we could enter the city.

The Greenway - and the Percée Viaduct - a fascinating story, which can be read on the information panels and is very interesting to me. Here's a translation of Vaduz: Like elegant young ladies striding over the valleys of the Lilliputian kingdom, at the beginning of the 20th century, nine viaducts, including the Parfond de Gouët Viaduct, with their beautiful brick arches, stretched along the very first railway line of the local network, St. Brieuc - Plouha. These engineering structures, built by a native of the region, Louis Harel de La Noë (1852-1931), a bridge and road engineer, allowed the small train of the Côtes-du-Nord to follow the winding and steep coastline without much effort. Lightness and elegance are the words that come to mind when describing the architecture of this 1903 building, characterized by numerous columns and arched vaults and its masonry in warm brick colors. The techniques used demonstrate boldness, ingenuity, and originality: reinforced concrete anchors (rebars) were installed to increase the compressive strength of the pillars and prevent cracks.

It is – contrary to the place name Sanint-Brieuc – Saint Stephen, under whose patronage this magnificent cathedral is dedicated. "Saint-Étienne" is one of the first seven deacons of the original Jerusalem church and, according to the biblical accounts in the "New Testament," is also the first martyr (blood witness) of early Christianity. The church commemorates his death on Boxing Day, December 26th. When Stephen recounted his vision of the open heavens, "And he, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Acts 7:55), the people were so outraged that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.

Great place with great administration buildings and associated public toilets and lots of bars and restaurants in the area...etc.

The photo is not extraordinary, but the place is worth the detour. Lots of small paths or singles for lots of fun.

It is here that the Gouédic passes under the splendid Toupin viaduct. This work from the beginning of the 20th century, named after its architect, was built for railway use. A few decades later, when the car became the main means of transport, the viaduct was transformed and largely made ugly. In 2013, a restoration campaign made the viaduct an architectural jewel. It was included the following year on the list of historic monuments.
