Remains of bridge on the Loue River demarcation line

During the Second World War, this bridge served as a crossing point between the occupied part of France and the part controlled by the pro-German French government in Vichy. Until 1943, the Loue River formed the demarcation line between the two parts of France. From November 1942 onwards, the Vichy part was also occupied by the Germans.

Of the bridge that stands next to the modern bridge over the Loue, only the ramp on one side and the foundations on the other are still visible. Several information boards and photographs of members of the Montbarrey resistance recount the history of that period at the site.
