5 reviews of Pont Wilson

Essential!

Excellent

The Pont Bridge crosses the Loire River at the top of the Rue Nationale. White, long, massive, cross the river to the old buildings of the "octroi", where in medieval times, people paid entrance tolls... and from there to the north of Tours, where there is not a lot of tourist interest. It was named after U.S. President Wilson, honored after the First World War, when Tours was a rather important military base. The bridge was partly destroyed during the fighting of the Second World War, and in 1978 almost completely collapsed ... apparently for the attack landed on the bases of the bridge ... luckily there was only had a car on the bridge! Today the bridge is a typical feature of the local landscape.

In summer, there is the summery bar "guinguette" with its reasonable prices and magical setting, and a small restaurant, concerts, dances and other daily activities, almost under the bridge, on the west side. East is the library ... The walk under the bridge is highly recommended, on the waterfront, in the heart of the city but in an ocean of tranquility (how poetic I'm getting!).
