FR

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.

In Entrecasteaux, this old stone bridge crosses the Bresque river which is a tributary of the Argens.
Today, the river was very calm, even relaxing, but this was not always the case. Thus in 1702, an impetuous flood from the Bresque caused the destruction of the bridge, which had to be rebuilt in 1725.
This bridge leads to the Saint-Pierre washhouse, which was donated to the municipality by Raymond de Bruny.
A large arch is completed by a smaller one, opposite the village.
