The boujou bridge is part of the series of lower town bridges. Not far you will discover a good restaurant 😉

Called Grand Pont and Pont du Château, because it served the village of the castle of the counts, the Bouju bridge was for a long time the most important bridge in the city. It owes its name to a local family who lived in Chartres in the second half of the 18th century.
Houses built on its sides did not facilitate the passage of travelers. The last one disappeared in 1871. But rue du Bourg (formerly rue du Bourg-du-Château), which follows the bridge, has preserved most of its old half-timbered houses.
