Souvenir Medal Monnaie de Paris 2020 - Le Pont Transbordeur 120 Ans (17)

The Rochefort-Echillais Transporter Bridge is a suspension bridge built in 1900 spanning the Charente River between the towns of Rochefort and Echillais in France. Classified as a historical monument, it is one of the few transporter bridges still in operation worldwide. This structure employs a suspended platform to transport vehicles and pedestrians from one bank to the other. While it was once a vital crossing point, it now primarily serves as a tourist attraction.
