Tips from the Community
Anyone in the vicinity of Mornas should not miss a viewpoint of the imposing Mornas fortress. Especially during a hike or a bike tour along the slopes and paths around the village, a beautiful view opens up of the medieval complex enthroned high above the Rhône. An ideal stopover to pause for a moment, enjoy the landscape, and take a nice souvenir photo.

A functioning traffic light system allows the use of the bridge by cars. If there are also pedestrians on the bridge, it gets tight.

Built to carry the road linking Uzès to Pont-Saint-Esprit, the main gateway of the former bishopric to the Rhône Valley, it boasts an exceptional length of 155 meters. The bridge is built directly onto the bedrock. To withstand the onslaught of the Cèze River's floods, this structure, with its 12 semicircular arches, is equipped with robust cutwaters at the front and rear of the piers. This strength was severely tested during the once-in-a-century flood of 2002, which partially submerged it. It was restored in 2014.
