Pont de Battant with its statue of Jouffroy d'Abbans

Highlight • Bridge

Pont de Battant is the oldest bridge in Besançon, crossing the Doubs and connecting the historic districts of La Boucle and Battant. The bridge dates from Roman times and originally had seven arches, of which one now remains. The bridge was restored and widened several times, and was partially destroyed during World War II. The bridge is now used by tram traffic and is sometimes the scene of an informal market. The bridge also has a statue of Jouffroy d'Abbans, the inventor of the steamboat, who lived nearby.
