The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Selon un acte de 1586, ce pont, qui comporte une seule arche en plein-cintre enjambant un petit affluent de l'Auvignon, fut élevé sous l'autorité de Marie de Monluc, prieure du couvent du Paravis. L'arche en plein cintre est composée de claveaux réguliers et d'un blocage en maçonnerie. Le tablier ne comporte pas de garde-corps. Témoin de la mise en valeur du domaine du prieuré fontevriste du Paravis à la fin du 16e siècle.

According to a deed of 1586, this bridge, which comprises a single round arch spanning a small tributary of the Auvignon, was erected under the authority of Marie de Monluc, prioress of the Paravis convent. The round arch is composed of regular voussoirs and rubble stone infill. The deck has no railings. Evidence of the development of the estate of the Fontevriste priory of Paravis in the late 16th century.
