Le Pont Sarrazin

Rue du Pont Sarrazin, 25230 Vandoncourt

Set in the heart of a steep-sided valley, the Sarrazin Bridge is a huge arch carved out by the erosion of limestone. According to legend, in the 8th century, a Saracen on an expedition captured a young girl and fled via this remarkable rock formation, which forms a bridge. As she struggled, the captive fell, unharmed, beneath the arch, whilst her captor was killed instantly. You can explore the site via the heritage trail of the ‘Petite Cité de Caractère’ of Vandoncourt, starting from La Damassine. Long-distance walking routes: the GR de Pays and GR5 pass nearby. Access by car: park at the Vandoncourt viewpoint car park and follow the signposts through the woods for about 1 km to reach the bridge.
