This first-century Roman bridge, comprising three semicircular arches and constructed on piers pierced with openings equally covered by semicircular arches, is one of the most handsome examples conserved in France
Et juxta Aptam Juliam est pons Julii supra Calonem fluviolum, et ex hoc a Julio Cæsare dici Aptam Juliam aliqui crediderunt.
= And close to Apt, over the Calavon River, is the Jules Bridge, whence the common belief that Apt was founded by Julius Caesar.
