August 3, 2025, Roman Bridge Over the Chambon

The old road called "Chemin Chevaleret" connected Poitiers to the sea. The Roman bridge is a witness to this trade route at the time of Roman Gaul. It is an idyllic place to take a break or cool off with your feet in the water.

When you cross this bridge, you can thank the Roman architecture, engineering and builders, because this bridge still resists today the incessant flow of the Chambon.

This 15th century castle, with its almost entirely intact moat, gives a real idea of its function as a fortress. Be sure to take a look as you pass by!
