An old bridge over which thousands of pilgrims have moved into the city. It was the second bridge after the Pont Martial 1km downstream, where a bridge already existed in Roman times.
Again and again on the pilgrimage route to St. James (Chemin de Saint Jacques) – like here in Limoges – there are valleys to cross and rivers to cross. The bridges are sometimes comparatively modern, sometimes medieval and sometimes even older in origin. But always, and this is the main thing, they bring - of course not only, but also us pilgrims - safely to the other side.
