Bridge Le Pont de Carouge

The Pont de Carouge is the oldest bridge in the canton of Geneva, spanning the Arve River with a series of sturdy stone arches. Originally known as the Pont Neuf, or New Bridge, this structure was built between eighteen eleven and eighteen seventeen under the direction of the French engineer Nicolas Céard. It sits along a historic route that has served as a crossing point since the Roman era, when the site was known as Quadruvium, a junction for paths heading toward southern France.
