About

The bridge over the Frémur or Lancieux bridge is a road bridge that spans the Frémur, a coastal river that separates the municipalities of Lancieux in the Côtes-d'Armor and Saint-Briac in Ille-et-Vilaine.

The ford and the bridge: In the 19th century, crossing the estuary of the Frémur was possible through a low tide ford or a high tide passer. An immersive wooden bridge of about 25 m was built in 1878 to facilitate the movement between the two banks at low tide.

First bridge: From 1912, the departments of Côtes-du-Nord and Ille-et-Vilaine planned the construction of a viaduct based on the tip of the Grognet in Lancieux. Among other things, it would aim to allow the Le Guildo - Saint-Briac railway line of the Côtes-du-Nord to cross the Frémur between Lancieux and Saint-Briac. The first bridge over the Frémur was built of reinforced concrete by Louis Harel de la Noë and was commissioned in 1929. Unfortunately, the line was stopped in 1932. The train will cross the bridge for two years and will stop at the end of the bridge because the line will never be connected to the Dinard line that stopped at La Houle. The bridge will be used...
