THE GIGNAC BRIDGE

It is considered to be the most beautiful French bridge of the ^18th century. Built by Bertrand Garripuy from 1776, its construction, interrupted during the French Revolution, took 36 years. Spanning some 173 meters, it features a central arch of over 48 meters spanning the Hérault River, presenting an audacious aerial silhouette for its time. To the left of the bridge, a staircase leads down to the river's banks, offering a bird's-eye view of this imposing monument. It has been listed as a historic monument since 1950.
