Almost obligatory passage to cross the Charente, but it’s worth the detour

Compensating for the needs of the Charentais who were formerly obliged to use the ferry to reach the other bank of the river, the bridge was built in 1842 with the constraint of not disrupting the passage of tall sailing ships to Tonnay-Charente in order to allow the port fluvial to continue its activity linked to the transport of salt, wines and spirits. With its 620 m long, it is one of the oldest suspension bridges in Europe. The deck, 204 m long and 5 m wide, is supported by 51 pointed arches and overlooks the river at a height of 23 m. Originally made of wood, it collapsed in 1884 and was replaced by a metal structure. The increase in road traffic eventually weakened the structure and it was closed to all traffic in the 1960s. After numerous rehabilitation works, it is now reopened, but reserved for pedestrians and cyclists. New restoration work is planned to begin at the end of 2023, because its structure remains fragile and its maintenance weighs heavily on the accounts of the small town of Tonnay-Charente.

Le Pont Transbordeur. I haven't seen anything like that anywhere. There were no long waits and we got to the other side comfortably. fine :)

If you're wondering what this huge bridge-like structure is, it's a transporter bridge that spans the harbor to move vehicles and people from one bank to the other in a gondola (or transporter ) suspended from a carriage passing under the apron. Initially powered by steam, it now uses electricity. It was recently renovated and can still be used to cross the estuary.
