Beaugency Bridge

Highlight • Other

The 7.70 to 12.80 meter wide bridge over the Loire has a total of 23 arches and is over 400 meters long - making it one of the longest medieval bridges in France. Its oldest parts (19 round and pointed arches on the north side) originally date from the 12th century. The Saint-Jacques chapel used to stand on the 3rd bridge pillar to protect the bridge construction and to welcome or say goodbye to the pilgrims.

Muides-sur-Loire Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The construction was declared of public utility by a royal order of August 3, 1840. It began to be built from 1841. It is a suspension bridge made of iron cables, whose architects are A. Boulland and M .Robin. With the increase in traffic and transported loads, a new reinforced concrete bridge was started in 1928 and inaugurated in 1932. During the Second World War, it suffered heavy damage twice. In 1943, it was definitively returned to circulation.

Moulin-cavier

Highlight • Other

This mill already existed at the beginning of the 19th century. It retains all its masonry elevation, made up of the cone and the circular mass. Elements of the frame of the cone, soles and roots, still remain. They maintained the huse, or hollow vertical pivot, through which passed the large iron which transmitted the movement to the millstones placed on the ground floor. Several doors, surmounted by small openings to ventilate and illuminate the cone, give access to ancillary rooms, one hollowed out in the mass, the other backed by the mass. This cavier mill, along with those of Crapeaudeau and Ecuelle, is the group of the last three cavier-type windmills existing in the department.
