About Victor Hugo Footbridge
A graceful metal pedestrian footbridge spanning the Canal de Briare in Montargis, built in 1891 by the Entreprise Eiffel — the same engineering firm behind the Eiffel Tower. The bridge features a distinctive rainbow-arch profile that rises in a pronounced curve, with roughly twenty steps on each side. It connects Boulevard Durzy to Boulevard des Belles Manières and offers views along the canal in both directions.
