Built according to Eiffel's plans, the bridge that crosses the river formerly provided a rail link between Vire and Caen. Only the metal bridge deck was destroyed and the pillars are still in place today. A new suspended bridge is used as a platform for bungee jumping and a giant zip-line. A third activity now enhances our "sensational" offer: the Swing, a pendular jump.
