Stone bridge with five arches, listed on the Inventaire Supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques on 13 May 1996. On 15 July 1760, the syndic Thibaut YENVEUX called a meeting of all the inhabitants of the village at the sound of the bell: it was recognised that the old bridge was falling into ruin on all sides. The work was awarded to Jean Baptiste Menne, a mason from Langres, on 9 July 1774 for the sum of 4200 livres. The final cost was 4578 livres. The new bridge was built using stone cut from a quarry in Courcelles Val d'Esnoms. The inhabitants had to pay 2736 livres over two years; the commune sold land and woodland for the rest. It seems that there were no subsidies!
