One of Limoges' two medieval bridges (along with the Pont Saint-Martial), it was the only one to span the Vienne until the Pont-Neuf was built in 1838. Launched in the early 13th century, it was modified several times. A 130-metre-long bridge with forebays, it was protected until the end of the 19th century by a ramier, a vast structural comb designed to hold back the driftwood trains that came down from the mountains to supply the porcelain factories and carpenters' workshops.
