Review & FAQ:

Spanning the Garonne River, the Pont Neuf is a famous bridge which was constructed over the course of several decades. It was finally completed in 1632 and established an important link between Place St-Cyprian and the Old Quarter of Toulouse. Interestingly, the 400+ year old bridge is still known as Pont Neuf, which translates as “The New Bridge”. The bridge spans a very respectable distance of 220m and is supported by 7 asymmetrical arches, the longest of which is the third one away from the right bank of the river. This seems to suggest that the architect somehow got his calculations wrong or that the width of the river changed somewhat while the 100+ year construction was under way. The bridge offers excellent views of Toulouse.
