I believe a drawbridge qualifies as a bridge! This one comes to you from Rennes, France. This is all that remains of the old fortifications which were built in the 1400s. I don't think they've changed much over the years. Photo taken in 2003.

Bonjour dear friend,
ReplyDeleteThe fortification is magnificent and the bridge in this entrance is very beautiful with all stones, a great picture!
bon dimanche!

The chains are there, but it doesn't seem to have anything to draw! It all looks quite sturdy.
ReplyDeleteIndeed that counts as a bridge! And it is a welcome contribution to Sunday Bridges, Halcyon!
ReplyDeleteI would very much like to see this castle in person! It looks fascinating! (I love history.)
ReplyDeleteIt definitely does!
ReplyDeletePretty photo:)
It´s old and fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteThird century (200s)??? That's amazing! Wonder what people lived in the area then? Another very fine travel photo, Halcyon!
ReplyDeleteJacob: Brittany actually has Celtic roots, so the people who built these walls might have been Celts. My curiosity is piqued now. Must google.
ReplyDeleteDrawbridges certainly qualify. Those over castle moats receive extra points!
ReplyDelete1400...wow! Love the history. I think I've said that before.
ReplyDeleteLovely and romantic!
