It was built in 1844 using Toulouse bricks and Quercy stone by engineer François Terrié, under the supervision of Jean-Baptiste de Baudre[What?], a civil engineer. Its dimensions are: total length 356 m; width 8.35 m on 14 piers. Less than 200 m upstream, the Compagnie des chemins de fer du Midi et du Canal latéral à la Garonne built the Cacor railway viaduct in 1857. From 1930 to 1932, trains used the canal bridge as a shoulder until the railway viaduct, destroyed by a flood of the Tarn, was replaced by the current bridge.[2]

Beautiful abbey. There is also a hostel for pilgrims attached, where you can also find the stamp to put on your credentials.

Lovely view at the river

The bridge was protected as a historic monument in 1911. In 2005, after the declassification of the former N11, the bridge became the property of the Communauté d'agglomération du Grand Montauban. The restoration of the bridge started in 2020.

The bridge has 14 arches, of which 7 arches span the 205 meter wide riverbed itself. The heavy bridge pillars are reinforced at the bottom and have an opening at the top to better withstand the pressure of the water.
