The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Pont composé de deux arches en plein cintre, extradossées. Il en comportait trois à l'origine (13e siècle), celle du milieu plus élevée que les deux autres. Cette disposition dura sans doute jusqu'au 18e siècle, époque à laquelle une petite arche fut supprimée lors de la transformation de la côte de la ville, du pont à la Grande Rue. L'ouvrage possède un mur bahut construit en 1768, au-dessus du parapet primitif, travail consécutif à la modification du sol du pont. Des éperons aigus existent en amont et en aval des deux piles, éperons modifiés également et probablement lors de la modification des sols. La trace du parapet primitif en dos d'âne est conservée.

History
Bridge composed of two round arches, extradosed. It originally comprised three (13th century), the middle one higher than the other two. This arrangement probably lasted until the 18th century, at which time a small arch was suppressed during the transformation of the slope of the town, from the bridge to the Grande Rue. The structure has a parapet wall built in 1768, above the primitive parapet, work consequent to the modification of the bridge floor. Sharp cutwaters exist upstream and downstream of the two piers, cutwaters also modified and probably at the time of modification of the floors. The trace of the primitive back-to-back parapet is preserved.
