A visit to Pont du Diable Céret








The Pont du Diable (Devil's bridge)is a medieval stone arch bridge at over the river Tech Céret, France, built between 1321 and 1341.

The local legend is that the residents wanted a bridge to cross the river Tech and hired the devil as builder. His condition was that he would claim the first soul across. To outsmart him, the locals sent a dog across first. Some say it was a cat. But then for many years everyone was afraid to cross. My housemate and I crossed, but to date the devil has not come for our souls.
