Description

Ce pont, toujours en activité, fut construit sur la Via Domitia, la plus ancienne route de France, aménagée par les Romains pour relier Rome à ses conquêtes. L'édifice a été probablement érigé aux alentours de 27 avant JC/14 ap.JC. Cet ouvrage d'art antique de 46,60m de long et 4,20m de large, enjambe le Calavon, rivière capricieuse dont les crues sont célèbres et violentes. Malgré tout et à jusqu'à ce jour, les crues n'ont pu ébranler sa structure. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° This bridge, always in service, was built on Via Domitia, the most ancient road of France, fitted out by Romans to connect Rome with its conquests.

Bin, c't'dire que euhhh. Si les crues en question sont aussi violentes et capricieuses que nous le montre ta photo..... .... On veut bien croire que la structure en question n'est pas branl -- euhh --- Ebranl pardon, plus que mesure, vois-tu...? Sinon Julien, y'a un rapport quelconque avec le Jules? Celui qui se faisait prentieusement appeler Car?
