Saint-Etienne Bridge (Pont Saint-Etienne) was a medieval bridge spanning the Vienne River in the city of Limoges，the capital of the Haute-Vienne department in west-central France. It is one of the best bridges preserved in France. The bridge, which was built in 1203, is 120 meters long and 5 meters wide. It is supported by seven unequal, pointed arches; each of them has its own autonomy.
