🌉 Jacques-Gabriel Bridge

The Jacques-Gabriel Bridge spans the Loire river in Blois, France, since the beginning of the 18th century. With a total length of 283m, it is made up of 11 arches, and is now the last humpback bridge on the river that is pointed. Since its construction, the bridge retains the name of the architect who designed it, Jacques Gabriel. The bridge was partially destroyed three times: in 1870, 1940 and 1944. It is now crossed by National Route 156.
