Templars' Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The construction style suggests that the bridge post-dates the Templars, but it is quite old. There may have been an older, wooden bridge near the same spot. The bridge is said to be part of the pilgrim road from Paris to Santiago de Compostela, which would explain the interest of the Templars, responsible for pilgrimage routes, in the road. Fun sunlight effects at the end of autumn days. In October, the bridge is the Centre of a medieval day, a delight of children of all ages. Check the web site of the city of Longjumeau for an exact date. There are two bridges at this site. The Templar's bridge is the one over the dry bed. The one over the river Rouillon dates from around 1750-1800.

Beautiful descent

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This trail is a fun downhill trail with some roots, perfect for testing your mountain biking skills. In wet weather, there is a bit of mud. In autumn, the leaves add a nice little obstacle.
