Ruins of the Old Bridge at Pied-de-Borne

Highlight • Bridge

Pied-de-Borne is a high-risk village which has suffered numerous floods. It is located in the narrow Chassezac gorges. This canyon, seven kilometers long and 400 meters deep, is also called the Devil's Den.

This particular geography and hydrography explain the destruction of the old bridge which is in front of you and of which only the pillars remain.

Stone bridge in Pied-de-Borne

Highlight • Bridge

The stone bridge at Pied-de-Borne, nestled in the heart of the Cévennes, is a charming old bridge that spans the Chassezac River. Surrounded by green hills and forests, it is an ideal place for a quiet break. The clear waters that flow under the bridge invite you to take a refreshing swim or simply enjoy the serenity of the place.
