Pont Julien and Via Domitia

Although over two thousand years old, this Roman bridge is in excelleent condisiton and connnects the Apt-Cavaillon road with Bonnieux and Lacoste.
The bridge was built on the Via Domitia, the oldest road in France, built by the Romans to link Rome with the Empire's conqured territories. The road was probably built between 27 BC and 14 AD.

The bridge is 46.60 metres (152 feet) long, 4.20 metres (13 feet) wide and has three arches.

The bridge has - somewhat miraculously - survived centuries of the River Calavon's notorious floods.
