Pont Jacques Gabriel

Pont Jacques Gabriel is a graceful stone bridge that has connected the two banks of the Loire in Blois since the 18th century. Its elegant arches and classic design make it a photogenic landmark, and crossing it on foot or by car provides stunning vistas of the river, the city's skyline, and the surrounding hills. The bridge is a popular spot for a leisurely stroll, especially at sunset when the light reflects off the water. It also serves as a gateway to the south bank, where you can find additional walking paths and views back toward the château and cathedral.
