Notre-Dame Bridge (Pont Notre-Dame)

The Pont Notre-Dame, a 14th c. bridge over the Nive, facilitated pilgrim access to the walled town on the Camino de Santiago . Its stone arch, reflecting in the water, forms a symbolic circle of passage and completion. The bridge is surrounded by timbered Basque houses, integrating sacred journey, vernacular life, and the enduring rhythm of river and road.
