The bridge of the Rooster, with its strange bent roadway, spans the Lévensa upstream from the village of La Brigue.
The name of the Rooster Bridge, a translation combining local dialect and Italian, remains mysterious. Its origins are lost in the past. Its construction dates back to the 15th century at the earliest, when a mule track allowed the passage on the other side, but there are no archives to prove it.
The particularity of the Rooster Bridge lies in its elbow-shaped route. This unusual route can be explained by the topography and the nature of the soil. Indeed, the Rooster Bridge is supported on a left bank with pronounced escarpments, and on a right bank which is much less steep.
The bridge is visible from the D43 road, and can be crossed on foot.
Bridge visible from the road, possibility to cross it.
