Pont Saint-Étienne

Pont Saint-Étienne is a sturdy medieval bridge that has spanned the Vienne River since the 13th century. Its stone arches and narrow roadway evoke a bygone era, and today it serves as a pedestrian-only crossing. Walking across, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the riverbanks, the cathedral, and the old town. The bridge is a favorite spot for photographers and romantics, especially at sunset when the light warms the stone. Benches at either end invite you to linger and watch the water flow by.
