The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Ce pont a conservé, dans son ensemble, sa physionomie primitive. Il présente un dos d'âne et se compose de trois arches en segments de cercle. Les deux piles du côté Est sont flanquées de contreforts plats, terminés à leur sommet par trois assises de pierre en retrait l'une sur l'autre, avec arêtes abattues en chanfrein. Du côté ouest, d'où vient le courant, les contreforts sont sur plan triangulaire et surmontés d'un talus. Le parapet en moëllons est moderne.

History
This bridge has retained, overall, its primitive appearance. It presents a humpback and is composed of three arches in segments of a circle. The two piers on the East side are flanked by flat buttresses, terminated at their summit by three courses of stone set back one upon the other, with arises bevelled in chamfer. On the west side, from which the current comes, the buttresses are on a triangular plan and surmounted by a slope. The parapet in rubble stone is modern.
