Standing at the entrance to Brignais, the Old Bridge once carried the Royal Road linking Lyon to Saint-\u00c9tienne. Already in existence during the Middle Ages, the bridge consists of two stone arches approximately 4 m high and features a characteristic humpback profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadway is paved with rounded cobblestones known as t\u00eates de chat (cat heads), while the parapet walls are topped with granite slabs. Listed as a Historic Monument since 1934, the bridge bears witness to centuries of travel and commerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1399, due to deterioration caused by time and neglect, the Bailli of M\u00e2con and Seneschal of Lyon imposed a special tax on the inhabitants of Brignais and neighboring Vourles to finance repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n
