This bridge crosses the stream of the Mother which encircles the city. It offers a beautiful view of the well-preserved fortifications of Vouvant. Looking north, you can see the Mélusine tower. It is in fact the keep, the only part of the old castle that still remains.

In terms of equipment, provide for those who want to make it a fast course a mountain bike adapted to breakage and quickly arriving and individual protections appropriate to your practice (knee pad elbow pad adapted helmet) certain portions can be very fast on road links and on land courses rockery and path In any case, this course is super and very technical on certain portions but remains affordable for an athlete of average level, the jersey will surely and certainly be soaked
