Pont de la Rouquette

Pont de la Rouquette - Middle Ages and 19th century - Asteriated limestone.
The bridge bears the name of the lord who owned the Rouquette estate, on a slope of the Durèze, a fordable stream. Perhaps derived from rouquet, "wild pigeon", this toponym more likely refers to the color of the stone used to build the château de la Rouquette and the bridge. The original vault dates from no earlier than the 15th century. Its deck, or railing, was restored in the 19th century. The keystone bearing the inscription "R. F.", dates from the restoration of the parapets.
