The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Bien que le pont ne semble pas antérieur au 18e siècle, la tradition fait remonter sa fondation aux Romains avec, peut-être, une réfection au Moyen Age.

History
Although the bridge does not seem to be earlier than the 18th century, tradition attributes its foundation to the Romans with, perhaps, a reconstruction in the Middle Ages.
