Pont du Dognon
Description
It was built by the Société des Forces Motrices in 1930, some ten metres upstream of the old stone structure. In July 1944, maquisards blew up one of the arches to prevent the retreat of German troops heading for Normandy. In August, when the militia fled, the German military police lowered the level of the dam to allow them to cross over the submerged bridge. The current 65 m-long bridge is a Bow string bridge. It has been awarded the "Heritage of the 20th Century" label.
