PATRIMOINE - Pont Roby

This medieval bridge, known as the "Pont Soubre", is made up of four arches, with the two ends in semicircular arch and the other two in pointed arch, and is named after a tapestry manufacturer whose workshops were located nearby. In the 16th century, Felletin was a prosperous town with a number of industries: flour mills, tanneries, paper mills, dye works? The river provided the energy needed to run the many mills.

Next to the bridge is the octroi post, symbolizing the duty that had to be paid to bring certain goods and commodities into the town. Listed as a Historic Monument in 1926.
