Origin and history
The Bellassière Bridge is a historic monument located in Crécy-Couvé, in the department of Eure-et-Loir (28), in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Built in the second half of the 18th century, it spans the Blaise River on departmental road 310, connecting the communes of Crécy-Couvé and Saulnières. Its architecture reflects the construction techniques of rural bridges of that time, designed to facilitate local trade and transportation.
Ranked Historic Monument by order of 8 January 1993, this bridge is now owned by the department. Although its exact location is documented (near cadastral plots B 115, B 123, B 444 of Crécy-Couvé and D 557 of Saulnières), its GPS location is considered to be of medium accuracy (level 6/10). No information is available on its current accessibility or on a possible tourist destination.
At the time of its construction, rural bridges such as the Bellassière were essential to the economic development of the countryside. They made it possible to connect villages, facilitating trade in agricultural commodities and the displacement of inhabitants. In a region such as the Centre-Val de Loire, marked by strong agricultural and artisanal activity, these infrastructures were vital for opening up territories and supporting local exchanges.
