The Beissat Bridge is a 13th century Gothic structure, listed as a historical monument by decree of 23 November 1970. The oldest mention of this bridge is the allusion to a transaction in 1470 relating to neighbouring mills. A toll on this bridge, probably in force for a long time, was closed in 1660. The structure formerly linked Bellac to Le Dorat. It consists of four arches, the middle one being semicircular and the other three being pointed arches. The piers are very wide and the profile is humpbacked. The spurs have a very sharp acute angle. In 1567, Monsieur de La Messelière's company broke the bridge to stop the Huguenot army. It was certainly at this time that the semicircular arch was rebuilt.

The bridge dates from the 13th century and is considered a link between neighboring mills. In 1660, you had to pay a toll to cross it.

A former Romanesque church, it has existed on this site since at least 866, when it was destroyed by the Normans.

The character town of Magnac-Laval has retained part of its ramparts and some vestiges of its priory. There is also a lapidary museum and very beautiful old doors in the small streets.

Pouyades fishing pond, with shaded picnic tables by the water's edge.

The footbridge blends in well with the site, which is also a pretty spot for fly fishing in the summer. Do not miss to cross the typical village of Limousin.

Currently built of wood, placed on two concrete foundations, it replaces an old bridge on foundations and intermediate stone piles, which the floods of the Gartempe had to wash away.
