Historique
Pont du 13e siècle en dos d'âne avec trois arches en arc légèrement brisé. Les éperons des piles portaient sans doute des refuges pour piétons, ce qui était habituel aux ponts médiévaux.

History
Bridge of the 13th century with a back arch and three arches of slightly pointed arch. The cutwater of the piers doubtless bore refuges for pedestrians, which was usual for medieval bridges.
