This bridge is representative of the structures created by Pierre-Paul Riquet during the construction of the Canal du Midi at the end of the 17th century. Its semicircular arch forms a perfect half-circle. It is typical of the structures found along the entire length of the canal. Its construction method, dimensions, and the use of local materials represent a standardization that contributes to the canal's unique character. Red brick is the emblematic material of the Toulouse plain. This bridge, located in the municipalities of Deyme and Pompertuzat, has been listed as a historical monument since 1998.

Powerful people and doers from Charlemagne to Francis the First failed to realize this idea, even Leonardo da Vinci tinkered with it in vain. It was not built until the end of the 17th century. The Canal du Midi is a technical masterpiece by an individual, someone obsessed with the idea, by Pierre Paul Riquet. ..." => https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/gcanal-du-midi-frankreich-folge-224/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82OTg2NDg2
