Facts and practical information

From the earliest antiquity, perhaps even before the Roman occupation, a bridge must have linked the city of Arles to the Camargue. It is impossible today to say what place this first bridge occupied and how it was built. It was probably followed by a first Roman bridge, built in the Augustan period or shortly after. But the Roman bridge, of which some remains can still be seen, dates back to the time of Constantine. It is also called a boat bridge.
