ThePont Julien (French pronunciation:[pɔ̃ʒyljɛ̃],Julian Bridge) is aRoman stone arch bridge over theCalavon river, in the south-east ofFrance, dating from 3 BC. The supporting columns are notable for openings to allow floodwater to pass through.It is located in the territory of the commune ofBonnieux, north of the village of the same name, and8 km west ofApt. Originally, it was built on theVia Domitia, an importantRoman road which connected Italy to the Roman territories in France. It was used for car traffic until 2005, when a replacement bridge was built to preserve it from wear and tear. It is still used as bike- and footpath. This amounts to approximately 2000 years of uninterrupted use.
