The Montcel bridges and the Gaudon bridge, spanning the Morge, were once toll bridges, established by royal decree on August 15, 1778. At that time, any crossing was subject to a passage fee, the rate of which varied depending on the type of vehicle and the load carried. For example, a four-wheeled cart loaded with firewood had to pay a tax of four deniers. These infrastructures, essential for local trade and exchange, still bear witness today to the economic and social history of Montcel during the Ancien Régime.

Beautiful old bridge. The bridge's base is completely paved with cobblestones.

It is not a Roman bridge but a Romanesque bridge and that makes a substantial difference of a few centuries!

"Its objective was to monitor the Sioule valley and the Menat bridge, an important crossing point. A motte-and-bailey castle was built on the site in the 9th century. (Wikipedia). A must-see site, of course. Dangerous area (risk of falling rocks). This building has been reinforced, and still seems to be undergoing consolidation work. A few signs explain the role of the castle, as well as the project. Venturing beyond the barriers is a risk for you.
