Tips from the Community
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.

⛪ Church of Notre-Dame-et-Saint-Michel – Goudargues The church in the heart of Goudargues was originally part of a 12th-century Benedictine monastery. It is an example of Romanesque architecture, with a striking apse, a simple nave, and two towers with pointed spires. After several collapses, it was extensively restored in the 19th century. Particularly noteworthy are the chapter house, which is now used as an exhibition space, and the historical works of art in the interior. The church is a listed cultural monument and continues to play an important role in the religious and cultural life of Goudargues.
