FR

Ce pont romain est un pont de pierre, en arche. Depuis le hameau abandonné de Valbonnette, via la chapelle Saint André, abandonné également, il permet de rejoindre Majastres.
Au fond du circuit de randonnée des "Gorges de Trévans", ce pont étroit, difficile d'accès, ne permet le passage que des randonneurs.
Nul ne sait aujourd'hui depuis quand il est là mais on peut supposer qu'il a été entretenu au moins au moyen âge durant la période d'occupation de la chapelle très proche.
L'accès est difficile, mais si on descend sous le pont, on trouve une petite cascade sous laquelle ile st agréable de se baigner au cours d'une randonnée.
