The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Au début du 17e siècle, Charles-Emmanuel Ier, duc de Savoie et prince de Piémont, décida de réaménager le tracé de la route de Chambéry à Genève pour des raisons à la fois militaires et économiques. Le pont Coppet fut mis en service en 1626. Jean-Jacques Siratio-Dian, grand voyer de Savoie supervisa sa construction qui fit gagner plus d'une lieu (environ 5 kilomètres) sur l'itinéraire entre Rumilly et Vallières. Le pont a assuré le passage de cette grande voie de communication jusqu'à l'ouverture de la nouvelle route du val de Fier en 1863.

History
At the beginning of the 17th century, Charles-Emmanuel I, Duke of Savoy and Prince of Piedmont, decided to replan the route from Chambéry to Geneva for both military and economic reasons. The Coppet bridge was put into service in 1626. Jean-Jacques Siratio-Dian, grand voyer of Savoy, supervised its construction which gained more than a league (approximately 5 kilometres) on the itinerary between Rumilly and Vallières. The bridge ensured the passage of this major route of communication until the opening of the new road of the val de Fier in 1863.
