19th-century bridge that crosses a gorge at the bottom of which flows the Château-Renaud, a stream that feeds the Lison resurgence. Its construction is surrounded by a legend of a pact with the Devil. The keystone of the main arch is carved, on the upstream side, with a grimacing devil's head, in reference to the legend surrounding this bridge
