Pont Van-Gogh (Pont de Langlois)
What the experts agree on
Van Gogh's iconic drawbridge, rebuilt after WWII bombing, now sits meters from its original spot. The replica captures the 19th-century charm that inspired the artist's famous painting.
“The weighbridge painted by Van Gogh was destroyed in 1926. This identical replica was taken down from its original position and moved here, a few metres away.”
