[FR] La Grande Boire est un ruisseau traversant le bas de la ville de Luynes. Ce ruisseau a la particularité de ne pas avoir de source : il est formé par capillarité, l'eau de La Loire s'infiltrant à travers le sol pour remplir le lit du ruisseau.
Ce pont en pierre enjambe le ruisseau, en parallèle de l'Avenue de l'Europe et face au parc des Varennes. Il est composé de deux arches pour trois piliers. Le parapet et le bâti du pont sont constitués de pierres en calcaire lacustre de Touraine. Ce pont permet d'accéder à un champ.
