Le Pont du Diable (The Devil's Bridge) is a historical bridge located in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southwestern France. It spans the river Hérault and connects the towns of Saint-Jean-de-Fos and Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert. The bridge was built in the 11th century and is considered a masterpiece of medieval architecture. It is made of sandstone and features three arches, the largest of which measures 45 meters long and 20 meters high. The name "The Devil's Bridge" comes from the legend that the bridge was built by the devil himself, who made a deal with the locals that he would complete the bridge on the condition that the first living being to cross it would be his property. The villagers outsmarted the devil by sending a dog across the bridge first. Today, Le Pont du Diable is a popular tourist attraction and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
