The Grand Pont is located in the city centre and serves as the main crossing between the right bank and the left bank of the Loue.
This bridge was built in the 17th century and has been an essential part of the Venetian cityscape ever since.
The Grand Pont is 36 metres long and 8 metres wide. It consists of three basket-shaped arches, which together form a slight slope. The bridge piers have semi-circular projections.
From the Grand Pont, you can enjoy a magnificent view* of the river and the surrounding houses, giving you a good idea of the centre of Ornans.

Hôtel de Sagey D'Arros
Highlight • Historical Site
This mansion dates from the 18th century and has an impressive façade. It has been listed as a historical monument since 5 September 1979. The façade and the roof, as well as the outside staircase in the courtyard, are all protected.
The construction of this mansion took place in the second half of the 18th century. It is remarkable that it does not appear on the town plan of Ornans from 1753. Inside, there is an old kitchen with a chimney on which the date 1774 is engraved.
