Connecting the city centre to the historic quarter of the same name, the Battant Bridge is located on the Grand-Rue axis. Once Roman way joining the provinces of Italy, it was a long bridge to cross the Doubs river. The stone building dating back to the Roman era was partially destroyed during the Second World war and today only the base of a pillar remains. On the left bank you can admire the unique architectural ensemble of the Vauban quay, which is crowned by the arcades of its th century houses.

Depuis les travaux du tram et l’élargissement du pont Battant, une nouvelle perspective s’offre aux visiteurs.
A gauche, le quai Viel Picard et la passerelle qui surplomb le Doubs, en face l’église de la Madeleine et à droite, la Tour de la Pelote en reconstruction.
La statue de Jouffroy d’Abbans, particulièrement réussie se trouve bien désormais sa place au centre du pont Battant.
Le marquis regarde le Doubs dans le sens de l'aval et tourne ostensiblement le dos au tram.
Pas fâché au moins
