Pont de pierre

Bordeaux’s first stone bridge crosses the Garonne between the historic left bank and La Bastide. Its arches make the river crossing a sight in its own right.

Why go

Built in the Napoleonic era, Pont de pierre changed how the city met the opposite bank. The repeated arches are most striking from the quays, while a crossing gives a shifting view of the river and the old centre. It can anchor a walk between Porte de Bourgogne and La Bastide when current works permit passage.

What to look for

  • A long sequence of stone arches spans the Garonne.
  • The bridge links the historic bank with La Bastide.
  • Views back toward central Bordeaux change as you cross.

Useful to know

  • Check the current works and crossing notice before using the bridge in a walking route.
  • View the arches from the quays if crossing is restricted.
