The bridge called the King's Bridge was erected at the beginning of the 13th century. Indeed, in 1291, Philip the Fair officially declared the foundation of Boucieu and thus created a co-lordship with the lord Geronton de Valmordane. Boucieu le Roi was endowed with a charter of franchise (tax exemption for its inhabitants) and a bailiwick (court of justice). The charter of franchise would attract numerous merchants and notables. Access routes were therefore paramount, hence the construction of this 3-arch bridge. It would later be widened in 1773. https://www.ardeche-hermitage.com/fr/catalogue/detail/pont-du-roi-129249/

The origin and history of the Roman bridge are unknown. A certainty, its very useful function of pedestrian and mule passage on a torrent often in flood in spring and especially in autumn. From this place, you can also see giant potholes dug by the Duzon.

The Chapel of Saint Martin de Galéjas was built in the 12th century and stands on the side of a hill facing the church of Saint-Sylvestre. A curious pinnacle surmounts it. A source flows nearby whose virtue would be to cure skin diseases. The word Galéjas would come from gala, scabies. The first traces of the chapel date back to the middle of the 10th century, when it was dedicated to Saint Martin, apostle of Gaul, built instead of Galézas.
