橋は27日まで閉鎖

Stop by and have a nice coffee on the morning, or a cold beer on the sidewalk. Very nice and calm place to relax before keeping biking

Originally, the Saint-Jean-de-Losne bridge was made of wood and crossed the river diagonally by road no. 27 linking Dijon to Losne. It started on the right bank, a little downstream from the current bridge, and then joined the old Seurre road. The structure was destroyed many times by floods and ice break-ups, but was always rebuilt in the same place until 1830. It was rebuilt in stone from 1833, then rebuilt again after being cut down during the war of 1870… The bridge suffered damage from the war twice more. On June 16, 1940, French engineers blew up an arch, and on September 7, 1944, the retreating Germans dynamited the rest. It was then replaced by a temporary wooden footbridge. After the liberation, the reconstruction work was put out to tender. After all these twists and turns, the bridge was finally rebuilt in the same place in 1950.

For a hiker, all locks look the same, automated or not.

A lovely spot with good food – beautiful steps down to the river. Very relaxed!

Always a great discovery to find confluences of rivers 😃
