T ROMAIN" or PONT DU TARN THE ROMAIN BRIDGE" OR BRIDGE OF THE TARN         

At the exit of Pont-de-Montvert in direction of Col de Finiels, turn to the right towards Villeneuve. Passed L'Hôpital, leave your car at the intersection of the GR7 and the road to Mas Camargues.
Then take to the right (obligatorily by feet) the GR7 which, for 2 kilometers,passes through peat bogs and herds will lead you to the "Romain Bridge", badly named because he's in no case built by the Romans but probably at the19th century. In the booklets of the National park, the term of "Roman bridge" is allotted to the bridge of Camargues. The inhabitants of the place assure me that this also is an error.

We are at the sources of the Tarn and water runs there limpid on a sandy bed. It is fresh. A blessing for overheated walkers. The best bathe is not at the foot of the bridge uninterrupted crossing point in the beautiful season. It is preferable to cross and follow left bank through the wood of pines. Two hundred meters downstream, the amateurs will find a tender grass border, sandy funds or rollers. Granite small islands strew the river and vary the pleasures of swimming. Of course don't dive here. Admittedly, it is not an Olympic basin but I ensure it by experiment, it's not deep but save and a very nice place.

Affermis par cette eau vigoureuse et après un dernier regard sur le pont aux trois arches dont la finesse ressort d'autant plus qu'il n'y a plus de parapet, les marcheurs emprunteront le GR72 qui traverse le bois du  et reviendront sur

Strengthen by this vigorous water and after a last glance on the bridge with the three arches whose smoothness arises more especially because there is no more parapet, the walkers will borrow the GR72 which crosses the wood of the "Commandeur" and will return at l'Hôpital by Bellecoste and Mas Camargues.
