Facts and practical information

The Charles-Albert Bridge, commonly known as the Caille Bridge, is a classical steel cable suspension bridge located in France, straddling the municipalities of Allonzier-la-Caille and Cruseilles in the Haute-Savoie department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

Designed for the crossing of the Usses river, it was inaugurated on July 11, 1839 and has been listed as a historical monument since May 6, 1966.

It was doubled by the Caquot bridge, which supports the automobile traffic on the departmental road 1201. Both of them overhang the river by 150 meters at the level of the gorge at the bottom of which were the Caille baths, known to the Romans, now disused but where the spring still gushes.
