The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La tradition attribue le pont à l'époque romane. L'ouvrage franchit la rivière grâce à quatre arches plein cintre reposant sur trois piles. Les becs sont établis sur des contreforts sur lesquels étaient sans doute aménagés des refuges. Si le bec de la pile centrale fait face au courant, les becs des piles latérales sont disposés obliquement pour s'opposer au mieux au courant lorsque le niveau de l'eau s'élève. Le pont est construit en moyen appareil, mais la voûte des arches est montée en grand appareil à joints maigres. Les arcs de tête sont extradossés. Des chasse-roues sont disposés contre le parapet qui subsiste.

History
Tradition attributes the bridge to the Romanesque period. The structure spans the river by means of four round-arch arches resting on three piers. The cutwater are established on buttresses on which refuges were doubtless arranged. While the cutwater of the central pier faces the current, the cutwaters of the lateral piers are arranged obliquely to best resist the current when the water level rises. The bridge is built in medium ashlar, but the vault of the arches is constructed in large ashlar with thin joints. The arch heads are extradossed. Wheel guards are placed against the surviving parapet.
