Origin and history

The Bohardy Bridge is a medieval building built in the 15th century, more precisely dated 1465 according to the local tourist office. Located in Montrevault-sur-Èvre in the department of Maine-et-Loire, it crosses the Èvre River. Its architecture is distinguished by eight uneven ogival arches and irregular triangular forks, giving it a characteristic chaotic appearance. Today, its access is restricted to vehicles less than 1.50 tons to preserve its historic structure.

Ranked as historical monuments by order of 7 September 1978, the Bohardy Bridge belongs to the commune of Montrevault. Its state of conservation and architectural style make it a remarkable testimony of medieval engineering in Anjou. Available sources, such as the Mérimée and Wikipedia, confirm its heritage importance in the Pays de la Loire region.

The location of the bridge is specified by GPS coordinates, with an approximate address at 2 Chemin de la Roche in Montrevault-sur-Èvre. Although its geographical accuracy is assessed as "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10), it remains a major historical landmark for the municipality and its surroundings. Its current use, although limited, still allows pedestrian and light passage, perpetuating its role as a link between the banks of the Evre.
