Pont Neuf ²

"Ô Toulouse ! Depuis le Pont Neuf jeté sur le fleuve indiscipliné, la ville rose hérissée de clochers…" Claude NOUGARO.

Original planning for the bridge started in 1542 by a committee of master masons and carpenters.
The bridge was finished in 1632, and was inaugurated on 19 October 1659.
The bridge is not symmetrical; the longest arch is the third from the right-hand bank.
The openings through the piers were originally supposed to represent the face and mane of a lion.
A triumphal archway added in 1686 constricted traffic and was removed in 1860.
It is 220m long and has 7 arches.
