The Pont du Malheur is part of the path that takes you all along the abandoned railway line which used to connect St.Agrève with the Eyrieux valley. The bridge is a spectacular feat of engineering. Its name recalls the tragic fact that in 1902 when it was being built, the central span collapsed, killing nine out of the ten workmen. The tenth one’s life was saved by an urgent call of nature into the surrounding woods.
A weak bladder can save your life!
