Hi, In this video, we’ll walk on the “Pont de Pierre de Bordeaux” which means “Stone Bridge” in french.
Next time i’ll try to walk on new bridge which is very technological and modern bridge in Bordeaux :
The first bridge over the Garonne River at Bordeaux, the Pont de pierre was planned and designed during the First French Empire, under the orders of Napoleon I, but its construction took place during the Bourbon Restoration, from 1819 to 1822.[1] During these three years, the builders were faced with many challenges because of the strong current at that point in the river. They used a diving bell borrowed from the British to stabilise the bridge’s pillars. It has 17 arches (the number of letters in the name ‘Napoléon Bonaparte’). On the sides, each pile of bricks is capped by a white medallion in honour of the emperor. It also carries the coat of arms of the city (three intertwined crescents). It was the only bridge until the construction of pont Saint-Jean in 1965.
The bridge and its tide is an important point in the Itinéraire à Grand Gabarit, the logistic schedule transporting parts for the Airbus A380 production.
Enjoy!
