The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'appareil soigné et les éperons restants permettraient de dater ce pont du 14e siècle. A demi ruiné depuis le 18e siècle lors de la construction du nouveau pont. En sont conservées deux piles, ainsi que les deux maisons de péage qui en marquent l'entrée sur la rive droite.

History
The careful masonry and remaining buttresses would allow this bridge to be dated to the 14th century. Half ruined since the 18th century following the construction of the new bridge. Two piers are preserved, as well as the two toll houses which mark its entrance on the right bank.
