Pont Romain

Listed as a historic monument, this forty-meter-long north-south bridge probably dates from the late 15th or early 17th century. During the Middle Ages, wooden bridges and fords were gradually replaced by stone bridges. Until 1863, when the departmental road linking Saint-Jean-de-Luz to Cambo and beyond was built, this was the only way to cross the Ur-Ertsi (the name given to the Nivelle at this point) and reach the village.

After the floods of 1983, which partially destroyed it, the bridge was rebuilt identically.
