This structure was built in the 13th century to cross the Dropt river, probably to replace an older bridge or a simple ford. It is certain that it is located in a place that has been very busy since antiquity, since the Roman road connecting Marmande and Bergerac passed here. If it is true that pottery and small coins of the Gallo-Roman period were found here, that still does not justify its name, "Roman Bridge"!

The structure is characterized by semicircular arches of different sizes, and by angled pilings that protect the piers during floods and extend to the bottom to form shelters for pedestrians.

Well-integrated within the Bretou district’s pastoral framework and remarkably preserved, this pretty medieval bridge is one of the strong patrimonial elements of the walled town of Eymet.
