Origin and history

The Pont Perent is a monument located in the commune of Saint-Pierre-de-Chartrouse, in the department of Isère (38). Built in the 16th century, it crossed the Guiers-Mort, an emblematic stream of the region. This bridge, classified as Historical Monument by order of May 1, 1923, bears witness to architecture and construction techniques of its time.

The location of the Pont Perent is estimated with a priori satisfactory accuracy (note 6/10), based on available data. Although the sources do not specify its original use, the bridges of this period often played a key role in local exchanges, facilitating trade, movement of inhabitants and connections between villages. In the modern era, the Alpine region was marked by a rural economy, where livestock, agriculture and forestry structured daily life.

Today, the Pont Perent remains a protected heritage vestige, symbolizing the link between the past and the current landscape of Saint-Pierre-de-Chartrouse. Its ranking among the Historical Monuments underlines its architectural and cultural importance for the territory. No information is available on its current accessibility or any associated services (visits, accommodation).
