The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
L'ouvrage, situé au pied du château, semble antérieur à ce dernier mais pourrait avoir été réédifié à l'époque de la construction du château. Le pont est muni, de chaque côté, de deux avant-becs refuges.

History
The work, situated at the foot of the castle, seems prior to the latter but could have been rebuilt at the period of the castle's construction. The bridge is equipped, on each side, with two refuge cutwater foreparts.
