The bridge was built in 1756. It offers a magnificent view of the 14th century towers of Semur-en-Auxois. Dare I say it's worth stopping to take a photo on your run?

This bridge (from 1756) over the Armancon offers a wonderful view of the 14th-century towers of Semur-en-Auxois, Cote d'Or, Burgundy. A picturesque photo motif.
