Pont de Claix (Lesdiguières Bridge)

Highlight • Bridge

The Pont de Claix or Pont Lesdiguières was built between 1608 and 1611 on the Drac, at the request of market gardeners from the fertile plains of Claix who at the time needed to cross the Drac to sell their products in Grenoble.

Highlight • River

Mixed. Some -excruciating- passages along the highway, others more pleasant along the Drac.

Rochefort footbridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Claix bridge, which was built between 1608 and 1611 under the leadership of Constable Lesdiguières, allowed the easy crossing of the Drac and regular communication between Grenoble and close campaigns.
Still looking medieval with its donkey road, its only arch with a range of 46 meters and 16m high, represented at the time a real technical feat.
The bridge was at the time two inscriptions: "UNUS DISTANCIA JUNGO" (Unique by my length, I gathered) and "ROMANA MOLES PUDORE SUFFUNDO" (I make shame Roman buildings).
It is classified historic monument in 1898.
