The Grand Pont bridge

Where?

Rue du Grand-Pont

Go under the Grand Pont bridge, built in 1844. At the time, this arched structure had two storeys, under which flowed the River Flon. Several decades later, the embankment works to the river covered up the lower row of arches, depriving this splendid edifice of its original elegance.
