A Entrecasteaux, ce vieux pont de pierre enjambe la Bresque qui est un affluent de l'Argens.
Aujourd'hui, la rivière était très calme, voire reposante, mais ce ne fut pas toujours le cas. Ainsi en 1702, une crue impétueuse de la Bresque entrainât la destruction du pont qui dû être reconstruit en 1725.
Ce pont mène au lavoir Saint-Pierre qui a été offert à la commune par Raymond de Bruny.
Une grande arche est complété par une plus petite, à l'opposé du village.
