Dating from the 17th century, this pretty bridge over the Verdon is worth the detour... It is an ideal walk for a special moment in the heart of the Verdon: a calm and preserved place, much less crowded than the Gorges.
Description
By going to the back of the Samson corridor car park (side opposite the road), you will find the Chemin du Pont de Tusset, which takes the GR 49. After a short but steep descent in the undergrowth, you will arrive at the Pont de Tusset: one of the most beautiful bridges spanning the Verdon.
The presence of a bridge at this location is not recent: the first construction dates back to the 11th century!
You will take the same path for the return, be careful the path, very stony, is slippery.
Details concerning animals : Keep dogs on a leash and pick up their droppings.
