Saut de Brot stone bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Saut de Brot bridge is certainly one of the most beautiful places in the Areuse Gorge. The old stone bridge takes you to the other side of the Areuse and makes a fantastic photo opportunity.

This is where you will encounter the powerful force of the Areuse, wedged on either side of the rocky cliffs that border it. A real site to see which will not disappoint you.
