Pont Valentré

About

The Valentré Bridge (Occitan Balandras Bridge), also known as the Devil's Bridge, is a 14th century fortified bridge crossing the Lot west of Cahors, France. With its three fortified towers and six arches preceded by sharp beaks, it represents an example of the defence architecture of the Middle Ages. The Valentré Bridge is classified as historical monuments by the list of 1840 and since 1998 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, under the title of the roads of Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle in France.
