The Pont Vieux is a medieval stone bridge that has connected the two banks of the Tarn River in Montauban for over 600 years. Built in the 14th century, it features seven arches and a distinctive fortified gate at one end. Walking across the bridge offers panoramic views of the river, the cathedral, and the old town. It remains a vital pedestrian and vehicular route, blending historic charm with everyday utility. The bridge's sturdy construction and elegant design make it a favorite subject for photographers and a symbol of Montauban's resilience.
