Pont St. Julien
Mortar had not been invented yet, so the stones were carefully set into place.
Amazingly, St. Julien's bridge still survives today. It has outlived Roman marches, hundreds of floods, and decades of car traffic. This bridge was used until just recently. In 2005, a new bridge was built to re-route traffic from this beautiful structure.
I love stumbling onto stuff like this while going on country drives.
Our ancestors were very smart indeed! And I agree - a beautiful structure!
