FranceThe Pont Julien is a Roman stone arch bridge spanning the Calavon River in southeastern France. Built in 3 BC on the Via Domitia, the major Roman road linking Italy to Gaul, it features innovative flood-relief openings in its supporting columns. Located near Bonnieux, 8 km west of Apt, the bridge carried vehicular traffic for over 2,000 years until a bypass was constructed in 2005. It now serves as a pedestrian and cycling route, making it one of the oldest bridges in continuous use.[1]
