Hiking
The 7.70 to 12.80 meter wide bridge over the Loire has a total of 23 arches and is over 400 meters long - making it one of the longest medieval bridges in France. Its oldest parts (19 round and pointed arches on the north side) originally date from the 12th century. The Saint-Jacques chapel used to stand on the 3rd bridge pillar to protect the bridge construction and to welcome or say goodbye to the pilgrims.

Hiking
We reach the Loire, facing the Pont de Beaugency bridge, parts of which date back to the 12th century.
At 435 meters, it is probably the longest and oldest stone bridge on the Loire.
On the island next to it a colony of gulls.
