"The work, located at the foot of the castle, seems to predate the latter but could have been rebuilt at the time of the construction of the castle. It is made up of four barrel arches. Its general silhouette in a slight speed hump, the half-moon refuges directly above its piers are characteristic of medieval bridges. "

"L'ouvrage, situé au pied du château, semble antérieur à ce dernier mais pourrait avoir été réédifié à l'époque de la construction du château.
Il est composé de quatre arches en berceau. Sa silhouette générale en léger dos d’âne, les refuges en demi-lunes à l’aplomb de ses piles sont caractéristiques des ponts médiévaux. "
